How to integrate new window-manager?
I installed knoppix 3.3 in knoppix-mode to hd. With apt-get I installed qvwm. The start-params can be changed in /etc/lilo.conf, i.e. xmodule=... screen=... desktop=qvwm.
But when I put desktop=qvwm as param, kde starts instead..
How can I integrate qvwm, so that it starts when starting X?

I am looking for the answer to this as well. I would like to switch between KDE and QVWM on a remastered cd.
I run "init 3" from a root shell to stop kde. Then I create a .xsession file in the root directory with the contents "exec qvwm" and use startx or "init 5" to restart xwindows, but only kde boots up.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Today I found the solution!
to see which scripts have something to do with window-managers, type:
cd /etc
grep -R icewm *
Change script: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45Xsession
duplicate the function starticewm and change to startqvwm. change the icewm¦ICEWM after exec to qvwm¦QVWM.
At the end of the script in
case ...
double again the line with icewm and change to qvwm.
Change script /etc/knoppix-autoconfig
In the line where is kde¦icewm¦twm .... add qvwm
now you should be able to choose at booting prompt desktop=qvwm

Do you use knoppix? Are you logged in as root? If not root, type "su" to become root.

Do you use knoppix?
yes, knoppix 3.3 (kernel 2.4.22-xfs)
in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ only are:
20xfree86-common_process-args
30xfree86-common_xresources
50xfree86-common_determine-startup
90xfree86-common_ssh-agents
99xfree86-common_start
it uses symbolic variables.
..._start only have this line:
exec $REALSTARTUP
..._determine-startup promise because it have:
.
.
elif [ -x /usr/bin//x-window-manager]; then
REALSTARTUP=x-window-manager
.
.
