Hi, This is most probably a frequently asked question. I poked around the Debian documentation and am unable to find the information (probably because I looked at the wrong place). How do I make xdm start a preferred window manager on a per-user basis? I want to leave the system-wide default preferred window manager (in /etc/X11/window-managers) to be Fvwm95. I personally want to use Fvwm2 with Gnome. I already have the appropriate stuff in my .xinitrc for launching Gnome and Fvwm2 via startx.
% cat ~/.xinitrc background-properties --init & keyboard-properties --init & mouse-properties --init & panel & xset +fp beetle:7100/ exec /usr/bin/X11/fvwm2 % cat ~/.xserverrc exec X :0 -bpp 16 Should I be creating a new .x<something> file in my home directory? My box resides in a secure intranet. Does the default Debian installation allow other folks using eXceed on WinDOS 95/NT in my network connect to my machine via XDMCP-Broadcast? Which files should I modify to allow users in my intranet to connect to my machine (now you see why I want to leave Fvwm95 as the system-wide default window manager)?
