Re: Need help in X Windows installation



Hello Bryan,yes there is a file that has the windows manager information.
It also tells what order to start them in.  But you can only have one
running at a time.  Here is mine, it is in /etc/X11/windows-managers

# This file contains a list of available window managers. The default
# Xsession file will start the first window manager that it can
# in this list.
/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2
/usr/local/bin/enlightenment -theme /usr/local/enlightenment/themes/dreamworks
/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm95-2
/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm
/usr/X11R6/bin/twm
#-- afterstep begin
/usr/X11R6/bin/afterstep
#-- afterstep end

I hope this helps.  If you have any more questions then email me.
Paul
