choosing a window manager [solved]
Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 8:46 pm
I'm new to LMDE (just installed it today), so this is perhaps a very newbie-ish question, but :
how do I get a choice of window managers at login?
I've installed the xfce meta-package (and I'm thinking of installing the kde packages). But when I log in, there's no option on the log-in screen to let me choose between gnome and xfce window managers (like there is using kdm). Is this a gdm characteristic, or is there some way of configuring gdm to give me a choice of window managers at login?
(Sort of related [why I'm not so crazy about gnome as a window manager] : is there a way in gnome (as there is under kde) to set the mouse to single-click under gnome? This double clicking business may be popular with some of those operating systems based in seattle suburbs, but as far as I'm concerned it's a bit of a nuisance.)
