I want to easily switch wm's between KDE/BB/XFCE. calc:~# update-alternatives --list x-window-manager /usr/bin/fluxbox You are talking about x-window-manager here, but you didn't check for it... KDE isn't really a wm and as such isn't listed in the wm alternatives, which you specifically did not check. > Any suggestions? The problem appears to be that since KDE provides an x-session-manager that the users x-window-manager never gets looked at... I'm not certain how to go about resolving that issue though since the KDE x-session-manager and x-window-manager both get called from the startkde script along with other KDE setup stuff.
