X and Fluxbox :: Switch from SWM?



I switched to SWM and don't know how to switch to fluxbox etc from there. Please assist.
How did you switch?
If you just edited your .xinitrc, you can edit it back. If you erased the original lines, a backup is in /etc/skel.

I think you can also open a terminal and run switcher.lua.

I used a switch button but I can't recount where cuz I haven't been able to get back to that point. When I logged out it must have saved the setting in .xintrc so I will check that out.
The menu item to switch back probably isn't available in swm.  Look in /home/dsl/.desktop (.xinitrc isn't modified by the switcher program).  There should be a "wm: swm" line which you can change to "wm: fluxbox" and then restart X (ctrl+alt+backspace, then use "startx" command).

Or you can do as lucky13 suggested, which doesn't require any manual edits.
