XWMCONFIG(1)							  XWMCONFIG(1)

NAME
       xwmconfig - choose a default window manager for X.

SYNOPSIS
       xwmconfig

DESCRIPTION
       xwmconfig  provides  a  menu  of	 the  window managers available on the
       machine so that you may choose one of them to use  when	X  is  started
       with "startx".

       When  run  by  root,  it sets the symbolic link /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc,
       which selected the default system-wide window manager to use for X, and
       also  creates  a	 /root/.xinitrc	 file  with  the  same	window manager
       selected (perhaps suitable to move into /etc/skel/).

       When run by a non-root user,  xwmconfig	writes	out  a	$HOME/.xinitrc
       file,  allowing	the  user  to  choose their own default window manager
       (possibly overriding the one chosen as a system default).
