Thanks for the suggestion. Just had a look at it, but it's not quite
what I had in mind: With Xtart, I have to choose the window manager
each time I start X. What I want to do is: Choose once, then forget
about it and get the window manager I've chosen started each time I
start X.
I've jsut found one way of doing it: The "First Time Wizard" asks for it
and sets it. Apparently, it sets a file called ".desktop" in $HOME,
containing the choice. I don't know how to run that functionality from
the console, but I'll certainly be able to edit .desktop should the
need arise - the syntax seems simple enough.
Cheerio,
Thomas
