Hello,

I have been trying to be able to run lighter resource needing windows manager.

I can run them using a command in .xinitrc eg: "exec enlightenment"

But I can't seem to get "update-alternatives --config x-window-manager" to work.

The problem is I set what windows manager I want and I get a '*' next to it, but a '+' still remians next to 'metacity' (gnome)

"update-alternatives --config x-window-manager" output after running it before hand and selecting 8, below:

There are 11 alternatives which provide `x-window-manager'.

Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
1 /usr/X11R6/bin/twm
2 /usr/bin/wmaker
3 /usr/bin/larswm
4 /usr/bin/xfwm
5 /usr/bin/startxfce
6 /usr/bin/icewm
7 /usr/bin/fluxbox
* 8 /usr/bin/enlightenment
9 /usr/bin/oroborus
+ 10 /usr/bin/metacity
11 /usr/bin/waimea

Enter to keep the default , or type selection number:


All help appreciated.
