nah, it also tells what window manager to use, as default (it overrides
these changes if you change in ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession)
so just place the script there, where XSESSION= is:
if ['/sbin/uname -r' = "2.4.23" ]
then
export XSESSION="XFce4"
fi
else
if['/sbin/uname -r' = "2.6.0-test11"]
then
export XSESSION="WindowMaker"
fi
correct me if my script is wrong, this is my first shell script :)
