How do I chose Icewm for desktop

#1 Post by designengineer »

Puppy 4.3.1
Installed Icewm, but cannot see any way to use it. I can only see the standard JWM desktop options. Do I need to turn on something?

If you answer, please be specific.

exit X (e.g. by Ctrl-Alt-Backspace), and run `xwin icewm-session` or something like that (type `icewm[tab]`) in a terminal to see if it is called icewm-session, as I can't remember).
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here
