How does one call an alternative window manager on SL10.1? (KDE runs fine on the box.) According to yast I have icewm installed, but I can't find any way to launch it. I also can't find an binary file anything like "icewm". startx icewm
That's what I thought, but when I do that I get the grey X background and an xterm with no window manager running. The only thing that gives me a window manager is startx which launches kde.
I'm not sure why Mr Moenkenberg put it the way he did, but the way to get an icewm session is to select icewm from the session menu at the login screen and log in.
... or just put DEFAULT_WM="icewm" in /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager. It is not mentioned in the comments there, but it works. Personally, I boot into runlevel 3 usually. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
