More clearly (for the newbie and thous who has no time to read ;-): 1) there are in /usr/bin a link named "x-window-manager"; 2) it points to /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager; 3) /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager points to real default x-window-manager. So? The most easy way is remove link /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager and make it once again pointing to our favourite window manager :-))). Example: After instalation Potato my defaults window manager seems icewm-gnome. So, it looks like: /usr/bin/x-window-manager | | point to | /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager | | point to | /usr/bin/X11/icewm-gnome Simply: #cd /etc/alternatives/ /etc/alternatives/# rm x-window-manager /etc/alternatives/#ln -s /usr/bin/X11/fvwm2 x-window-manager After this x-window-manager point to my favourite fvwm2 :-), and for now it's the default window manager. Run startx once again or reset X-server by CTR+ALT+BS best rigards -- ~~~~~~~ /* | QLIVER / | / | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~/____| / | ~~~~~~~~~Marcin Landowski~~~~~~~~ _ | /_____| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *_|o|___|_______|______@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ \___________________/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
