I had previously ask how to get Black Box as my window manager and was filled with more information than I expected and was able to change from ICEWM-GNOME to Black Box... everything was good. Well the kid came out in me and was wondering what the other window managers looked like, ie AfterStep, WMmaker. etc so I exited as user and logged in as root, did a update-alternatives --config x-window-manager and selected WMmanager. Typed startx and the WMmanger opened up, but my system was froze, ctrl-alt(F1, F2, F3), alt (F1, F2, F3 etc), ctrl alt Backspace, ctrl alt (+) or (-), or ctrl alt del did nothing this thing was froze, and this happens a lot...all I can do is turn off the power and restart it. I again did a startx as root and was froze again, on the next restart I logged in as user and was froze. On the next go around I logged in as root did the update -alternatives --config x-window-manager and selected IECWM-GNOME and everything was ok. I am able to change the window manager from the ICEWM menu it will go to the window manager that I select, but, if memory serves me correctly, when I shutdown and do a restart I'm froze again. I have maybe 6 different window managers on this system. I don't know if this is related but I have edited the user ~/.bashrc so that it will ask for verifiction when I mv, cp or delete and it is not functioning either. Should I delete all of the window managers except the one that I want to use ie Black Box or what... any and all help is a appreciated and a education. Sorry for the length of this. Thanks Don
