You can select a window / session manager without changing any configuration by just invoking: $ startx `which wmaker` $ startx `which startkde` $ startx `which <executable>` or even $ startx `which xterm` You can also set up aliases or small scripts to simplify this step: $ alias xwmaker="startx `which wmaker`" HTH, Flo
