No matter what i pick for a windows manager i get the stock Freebsd one wmaker i think? u know the one with the terminal and green menu bars very vanilla. green menu bars = twm wmaker = much better, check it out @ http://www.windowmaker.org > An exception to this kde still works and failsafe gives me control of the terminal window bottom right. > > Also i removed a bunch of managers out of the wdm-config file as i was not using them like this. > > DisplayManager*wdmWm: wmaker:enlightenment:gnome:kde:fluxbox > > I still get failsafe and wmaker where do us suppose these come from.

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will kill the X server and re-read all the configs. can you please post your wdm-config and a list of your package installed ? (or make them available online) the relevant section in my config: --- ! It will run .xsession !DisplayManager*wdmWm: None --- which means it will read .xsession in my home. my .xsession is : $ cat ~/.xsession ## RUNNING bbkeys from Blackbox because it feels more powerful ## to avoid conflicts with fluxbox's key mgr, I emptied .fluxbox/keys bbkeys & xscreensaver -no-splash & fbpager -w & #wmwifi & sleep 1 && gkrellm -w & #fbdesk & torsmo & tilda & skype & gaim & fluxbox --- though I realise that I should be simply running startfluxbox and adding all the other cmds to ~/.fluxbox/startup HIH, beto
