Installing ctwm didn't also install a ctwm.desktop, so you would have to create it yourself in /usr/share/xsessions. The example only starts ctwm and nothing else; you probably have a .xessionrc or .xinitrc script to set up your session, and you can put that in place of Exec= if you want. If you build ctwm yourself (the one from Ubuntu is 3.7.1 so rather old) you don't even have to overwrite the packaged one; you can just put it in $HOME/bin, and if either the .desktop file or the .xsessionrc file refers to it, it should be used. Oh, I almost forget: you can choose the "desktop session" from the login screen. The username box has a thingie that brings up a menu (I'm not sure if I kept the default desktop manager, but the place to click isn't obvious if you don't suspect that the feature exists) which lists the options from /usr/share/xsessions and a few more. -Olaf. -- ___ "Buying carbon credits is a bit like a serial killer paying someone else to \X/ have kids to make his activity cost neutral." -The BOFH falu.nl@rhialto
