Hello:
I'm having an odd problem with slim. I am trying to add a tiling window manager to the slim login options. I've edited .xinitrc (from CC and from terminal-leafpad) and I can't make slim see this new window manager. It just will not display the entry. However, if I use an already existing one, like gnome, but use the exec for the new wm, then it works.

I figured I'm missing something very basic. Is there another .xinitrc file that's overiding my options?

Here's my .xnitirc file:

case $1 in
icewm)
exec icewm-session
;;

lxde)
exec startlxde
;;

xfce)
exec startxfce4
;;

fvwm-crystal)
exec fvwm-crystal
;;

kde)
exec startkde
;;

gnome)
exec ~/musca-0.9.23/musca
## exec gnome-session
;;

musca)
exec ~/musca-0.9.23/musca
;;

openbox)
exec openbox-session
;;

fluxbox)
exec startfluxbox
;;
*)
exec icewm-session
;;
esac



thanks.

With Anti's help, I was able to fix the problem. I had to edit /etc/slim.conf to also show the new window manager option, not just .xinitrc.
