I'm slowly finding my way around antiX. I've managed to sort out the Icewm panel + the shortcut keys & colour scheme for Roxterm but I'm completely stuck on setting a default WM.

OK! The system default is Icewm-Rox. By prodding F1 I can select any of 5 or 6 WM's but where (ie: what file must I edit) to change the default.

As usual, all help gratefully accepted (I think I am going to anacronymatize (if there is such a word, which I doubt) this and use it as part of my on-line signature.

or, should it be 'all help gratefully recieved'

antiX Control Center->Session->Edit Login Options

Choose your default window manager.
If you get an error telling you to run"change-default-desktop" as a regular user, open a terminal and do so.

afab4 - thanks for that. I thought I had made a comprehensive trawl thru' the Control Centre - obviously not comprehensive enough!

I've also tracked down the entry in etc/slim.conf (Blast - that damn forward slash, etc again). Getting there. Slowly. But still getting there.

Thanks again
