But first you've got to create a file called dleal->.xinitr in your home directory (/home/yourusername). in that file you must dleal->have a line related to what windowmaneger you wich to start (kde, dleal->windowmaker, afterstep, etc, etc...) dleal-> dleal->Exemples: dleal->If you want to starx windowmaker put the following line in your .xinitrc: dleal-> dleal->exec wmaker dleal-> dleal->For kde: dleal-> dleal->exec startkde dleal-> dleal->For afterstep: dleal-> dleal->exec afterstep dleal-> dleal->and so on for other window managers... ........
