ICEWM configuration and Xfce4 problem

Hello, I just installed icewm. How do i get it to show in the gdm login window so that i can switch between wm when i want?

Also i started one of the gnome programes in xfce4 which also started the gnome desktop as it appears in gnome. Now everytime i start xfce4 i get this gnome desktop instead of the original xfce4 desktop. I have tweaked all i know without success. Will be glad if someone can help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled xfce4 but it hasn't worked.

Thnx

Re: ICEWM configuration and Xfce4 problem

Your xfce4 problem is a feature of xfce4-session. Just killall nautilus and it will forget about that if you save the session on logout.

I tried the command and the gnome desktop went but my desktop now looks like what you get when you start x without any window manager. Right click doesn't work and when i chabge the backgroud in settings it doesn't kwork.

xfrun4 has keybind Alt-F2. Execute xfdesktop and logout saving session.
