In redhat (I use 8.0 but I think it is same in RH 9.0) when u use switchdesk utility once, a file of name .XClients-localhost_blah_blah_blah is created (Atleast in mine it was created). Now open this file in vi and delete all the lines there and enter the following: #!/usr/bin/sh exec icewm that is all to it. Next time u start X using startx, you will get icewm window manager. Hope this helps.
