I have been told to change .xsession or .xinitrc to change the default window manager. Probably an easy question, but where are these files located? Even when I do a find it does not find any of these files. BTW, fvwm95 is in /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm95. Thanks, Alain -----Original Message----- From: dmb <nellie@home.com> To: Alain G.
