It makes it so you can type "startx gnome", "startx icewm" instead of having to change your .xinitrc file every time you want to switch desktops.

nice page, void main! i think i will download FVWM95now, as a KDE replacement and see how it fares!  :D  i keep an eye out for linux things that will help my windows/mac raised girlfriend feel at home with linux.

voidmain:
It's sorta Win95 like. It's the first one I ever used that had the start bar type menu like Windows has. It surely is more lightweight than KDE or Gnome. Now I would be surprised if you can run KDE/Gnome programs under it but they may have added that support in. It's been quite a few years since I used that one.

Calum:
just for the record, i spent a long time tracking down fvwm95, and i found it at http://www.go.dlr.de/fresh/linux/slackware/slackware/xap/

i just thought i would post the url to save somebody else doing the rounds and getting as many dead links as i got.

The script works really great! Thanks!

However, my system still doesnt want to run gnome-session...

Do I need to install something?? :confused:
