Sorry that didn't work. It would be really nice to have X start a
window manager for me again. I've also had problems trying to get out
of X (because the WM didn't 'hook' into it correctly. When I use the
really quit command in FVWM2 I just loose the window manager X doesn't
shut-down!) I also didn't know if you noticed that I have NO window
manager when I start-up X.

Just think of all those pixles you'll save (especially when I can only
do 800X600).
