X problem (again) Win managers.

[Psychotron <psychotron@cwb.conex.com.br>]

Hi!

	Well I managed to install X thanks to the people that helped me here but
I'm for getting rid of all those newbies problems :)
	This time I couldn't get those windows managers to run. People advised me
to install them so I choosed fvwm95, the instalation was ok, dselect did
not find any problems, but when I first started X it did not appear like
the fvwm95 docs said it would be. I found the windows managers
configuration file in etc/X11/window-managers and it had the following
contend:

# 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/fvwm95-2
/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2
/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm
/usr/
X11R6/bin/twm

	Ok, so I tried to run fvwm95-2 at the prompt and I got the error:

fvwm95: in function CatchRedirectError: <<ERROR>> another WM is running
	
	I don't have fvwm or or fvwm2 but when I tried to run twm I got:

twm: another window manager is already running on screen 0?
twm: Unable to find any unmanaged screens.

	So I concluded that I had another window manager that wasn't in
etc/X11/window-managers (how smart I am uh? :)) The question is, where that
unknown window manager is set up and how can I remove it so that I could
easily run fvwm95-2 at startup?
	Any suggestions?

	Thanks again!!


	Psy
