Thanks for answer.
Im reading manpage now.
Is it correct in that this enables me to change wich wm I start eg if I
type startx, or in my case gdm?
Im not really interested in that. I want to have a list of wms to choose
from, from gdm. I know that e.g. mandrake comes with that option. This
is what im interested in. Ive read the docs in gnome and gdm and have
tried a lot of stuff, but i dont seem to get it properly. Correct me if
im wrong.
