Write one that does the following and use it instead of startx. Say, "xme". MY_WM=$1; export MY_WM exec startx Starting an ssh agent here can be very convenient, too... Then, in .xinitrc: case $MY_WM in k*) # KDE exec startkde ;; g*) # Gnome exec gnome-session ;; w*) # Window maker exec wmaker ;; *) exec my-favorite-wm ;; esac So if you want kde, do: xme k Dead easy. Better than any graphical manager, cause it's so easy. And portable. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
