xinitrc has wmaker but i dont have wmaker

why does xinitrc have exec wmaker? thats windowmaker right? i donthave that instaled though. i presently use kde:

#!/bin/sh

#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#

exec wmaker
# exec startkde
# exec icewm
# exec blackbox
# exec fluxbox

when i created a new user and i looked at the new .xinitrc in the user home, its the same. am i supposed to comment that out?
maybe the devs overlooked this?

Re: xinitrc has wmaker but i dont have wmaker

.xinitrc is just for an example purpose u should adjust it to your needs, for example i have my own .xinitrc proto

#!/bin/sh

#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
#Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
# 

#
# Commands to run before the Window Manager
#
# devilspie &

#
# Windows Manager
#
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
# exec fvwm
# exec fvwm-crystal
# exec startxfce4
# exec wmaker
# exec startkde
# exec icewm
# exec blackbox
# exec fluxbox 

so yes do whatever u want with it
