I have just started back at work, the place I left a few months ago where I have a two day a week contract starting today.
I have got a Fedora based machine as my desktop machine again (Hoorah!) but I haven't got my old customised setup back so I've got to redo it from scratch.
The first problem is - how do I turn off the Gnome desktop from being automatically started? Is there a setup option somewhere that selects what window manager I want?
I have created a .xinitrc file which starts fvwm2 (the window manager I want) but it hasn't done anything.
I suspect what I need to change is buried in the gdm/xdm startup somewhere.
