I've just install windowmaker (rpm) and can't seem to load it when redhat starts. I get my Gnome, KDE options but not windowmaker. I'm running GDM.

from a console type switchdesk-wm (i think)

or go to the menu and look for the desktop switcher.

Open your .Xsession in home dir

and fine the line that says:

exec kde (or gnome)

and change it to

exec wmaker

If that is allready done try removing .autostartKDE file in home dir...

Hope this helps...

use "switchdesk kde" and then edit the ".Xclients-default" to be set as "exec wmaker"
