Hi there,
if you're using the runlevel 3 (launch X with the startx xommand that is),
you have two ways of changing the default WManager.
- use the same WM for all users:
modify the /etc/sysconfig/desktop (put WindowMaker instead of
GNOME)
each window manager provide a file in /etc/X11/wmsession.d with the right
description.
- create a .xinitrc in your directory and enter a corresponding entry.
in your case simply enter startwindowmaker (one word)
cheers,
