Title: Switching Desktop Shells
Post by: udaki on 22 August 2004, 17:29

I just switch from redhat to slackware 10 and man i learned alot of slackware in one day than redhat in 20.So I needed to switch desktop shells from KDE to fluxbox in slackware so I try editing xinitrc but then i figured out than xinitrc was just a link to xinit.kde so i tried deleting xinitrc and made a file link to xinix.fluxbox and named it xinitrc and wheni restarted X it stills logs on to KDE.Do I have to edit another file or am i editing xinitrc the wrong way?

You don't need to do that.  Just run xwmconfig and select the desktop you want.

Damn!  finally someone asks a linux question that I could have answered, but someone beat me to it.  xwmconfig is the easy way to switch default X desktops
