Hi Guys
I installed icewm as an extention, downloading from the repository. I tought this would have given me a chance to swap window manager in case I wanted to or needed, but instead I got icewm as the standard wm.
If so, I prefer getting back to fluxbox. How do I do this?
I tryied to comment the last two line of .xinitrc, but no result.

any suggest?

copy /etc/skel/.xinitrc to /home/dsl/.xinitrc

/etc/skel contains the default setting for each new user

I don't know what changes were made with the icewm installation, but it should have done nothing to existing files.  Adding a window manager should require the user to specify which he wants by editing the appropriate file(s) -- in this case /home/dsl/.xinitrc. The last line in .xinitrc should be the window manager you want.  This means a tiny bit of work for the user, but it prevents one window manager from messing with another.
