Re: How to change the window manager in RedHat 6.0



Try inserting it into .xsession if you want it only for the single user,
or as the first option in /etc/X11/ , I don't remeber the exact file but
it starts with wm... somthing. I hope Its the same because I use debian,
but in this respect the versions should be close enough.
You should also enter the full path to the window menaget executable,
because the path is not loaded yet when the system searches for the file.

Hope this helps
