Hi,

  To change your Window management system from CDE to FVWM or any other
X window manager go to /etc/rc.config and change the following line:

XLOGIN="cde" to:

XLOGIN="xdm"

Add a .xsession file in your home directory. At a minimum add the
following:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/X11/fvwm2

Also, you'll want to add a .fvwm2rc file. Look at
http://mars.superlink.net/user/ekahler/fvwm.html for a great set of
examples. I'm still try'ing to get the tkgoodstuff going but that's
another subject.

Reboot your machine. Very important. Check out /sbin/rc3.d/S95xlogin
for the logic behind the /etc/rc.config change.

Have fun.

Thank you to everyone who responded!
