I have just upgraded from SuSE 7.2 to 7.3. I used to have my default windows manager as Blackbox but now we're back to that horrifying (imho) KDE. (I like most of the KDE applications but not the wm which looks and behaves much too much like another familiar gui. It gives me the willies.) Please tell me how to add Blackbox and Sawfish as available wm's. Tia, Maury

You can either edit your .xinitrc file to assign the new wm as
$WINDOWMANAGER, or just type "startx blackbox". There is a file called
/usr/X11R6/bin/wmlist that lists all available wm's, so you can edit that
one if the new ones aren't showing up. Someone from SuSE can please LART
me if that is a Bad Thing to do. ;^)
