How to make choice of FVWM2 or Gnome when get into Xwindow from command line?
I did't like Gnome,so I install FVWM2 in my Fedora 7. But some times I have to use Gnome enviroment.So I wonder how to easliy choose Gnome or FVWM2 when I use "startx" to start Xwindow under command line?
Thanks a lot!

edit your hidden .xinitrc file in /home/username/ and add:
for gnome...
for fvwm...Code:exec gnome-session
I'm not positive on fvwm if it's that, or fvwm2. I run the devel version, so it's fvwm-devel for me.Code:exec fvwm
If you don't have an .xinitrc file, create one using any text editor.
I'm not sure if you'll need to remove GDM, or not.oz

I didn't have hidden .xinitrc file, so I have to create it.
Thanks! I'll try it.
