I use fvwm since 6 years and it is not comming by default as wm. The only thing I did (I use xdm) was to add fvwm as the last line in my ~/.xsession, and to be sure that ~/.xsession is executable (chmod +x ~/.xsession). For other dm's (like kdm, gdm, etc.) I think you should do the same with ~/.xinitrc. For global solutions you could alter the /etc/Xsession file (for xdm). Ionel
