Hello everyone, I need some help with .xinitrc in Slackware 7.1. I am trying out some different windows managers an I would like to know what I have to do to get them to work when I do startx at the command line. I have installed IceWm and and when I do a startx I go into my default windows manager. I even tried doing this:

WINDOWMANAGER = icewm; startx

,but still no luck. Can you guys help me out?
