.TH XWMCONFIG 1 "31 May 2002" "Slackware Version 8.1.0"
.SH NAME
xwmconfig \- choose a default window manager for X.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xwmconfig
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B xwmconfig
provides a menu of the window managers available on the machine so that you
may choose one of them to use when X is started with "startx".  

When run by root,
it sets the symbolic link /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, which selected the default
system-wide window manager to use for X, and also creates a /root/.xinitrc file
with the same window manager selected (perhaps suitable to move into /etc/skel/).

When run by a non-root user, xwmconfig writes out a $HOME/.xinitrc file, allowing
the user to choose their own default window manager (possibly overriding the
one chosen as a system default).
