to change window managers, you edit (or make from scratch) ~/.xinitrc (type: pico .xinitrc from your home directory) and enter one of the following options (depending on which window manager you want to use/have installed):
source /sw/bin/init.sh
exec gnome-session
*OR*
source /sw/bin/init.sh
exec enlightenment
*OR*
source /sw/bin/init.sh
sw/bin/startkde
then write out of pico by pressing <ctrl> o, <enter>, <ctrl> x
Then ... start X from the terminal using:
startx -- -fullscreen
I hope that works - that's how I do it anyway and it works. The information above is at the following two URLs: http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/run-xfree86.php (for gnome and enlightenment) and http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/kde.php (for KDE).
Cheers!
David Orlovich.
p.s. Fink Beginners might be a better list get get help on this sort of thing.

Hiya folks,
I've been trying to switch the default window manager that X uses and haven't had much luck. Might be some little OS X nuance I am missing. Can anyone point me to a functional set of X dot files that the know works with XDarwin and KDE (or the like) or just post the basic entries I need to put into my files to specify the window manager? TWM really sucks something awful.....
Thanks!
Heidi
BTW - I did compile KDE. It took freakin' forever so it would be nice to be able to use it finally!
