The name of the window manager that runs by default using Apple's
X11.app is called quartz-wm.
The general way that you can override this is to create a text file in
your
home directory called ".xinitrc". The contents of this file are the
commands that you'd like to run with X11 is started. The final line
should
be the window manager that you'd like to run. "gnome-session" for
Gnome,
"startkde" for KDE (I think), "sawfish" for sawfish, etc.
Great news Sean, thank you.
Where would I find the instructions on how to set these other window
managers up under panther? I am presuming that I will have to use
"fink"? Also does anyone know a "beginners" tutorial for this?
Sincerely.
