The windowmanager can be started in different ways depending on whether
you are using xdm or are starting X 'manually' using startx.

In the latter case you put the appropriate invocation into your
.xinitrc (if it doesn't exist, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc is take - 
copy it into your HOME directory). In the former case .xsession is
the script you can put the windowmanager line in.
