I would like to switch to ICE Window manager.. I have downloaded the binaries and installed them.. My system is RHL 9.0. I would like to load ICE WM on startup. I use Graphical login manager. How do I go about in preparing the script and where should I place that?
thanks.. -AmaR Shah.
make a ~/.xinitrc with exec icewm-session

Hi Amar , edit "~/.Xclients" file that the file in ur home directory called .Xdefaults and edit it using pico/vi/emacs/joe/ or any editor add line "/path/to/your/icewm/DisplayManager"
After doing this for more configuration of icewm u can then edit file called profile in .icewm directory in your Home dir. For this there is a good GUI is also available .some googlizion required for that :-)
---- [sachinr@rhbox sachinr]$ ls .icewm/ preferences toolbar ---
You can append these lines to ur "~/.icewm/toolbar" file to get Quick ToolBar on Status Bar

Create a file called .xsession on your home directory. The file should contain the window manager to be loaded. In your case it is icewm-session. And then give the command `startx` at the command line. Rememeber that this is alternative for gdm. So you need to stop gdm before running `startx`.
I use Graphical login manager.
I can't see the need for using gdm(I can see the disadvantages). Any way if you follow the above procedure, gdm will recognise icewm after a restart.
