I made a REALLY stupid mistake

[Silent Bob]

I used the switch desktop manager utility to change from sawfish to TWM (I wanted to see what TWM looked like). Anyways now all I can really get at are XTerms and I'd really like to switch back to sawfish.

Any takers for helping me out?

I guess it's just another hurdle along the learning curve...

reboot as super user with xterm and it should login with sawfish if thats your default wm if you startx.

logging on as root isn't a problem (it's still sawfish), what I'd like to do is set my normal user account to use sawfish again.

thanks

As root go to your users directory /home/user and do rm -Rf .gnome

This will remove your saved sessions and when you login as that user again it will be like the first time.

or if your .Xinitrc file in the home directory says "exec twm" just change it to "exec gnome" or "exec sawfish" (i'm not sure which it is, considering i use blackbox exclusivly).

Thanks for the replies. I was a bit uneasy about doing the rn -Rf (mainly cause I didn't want to screw up) so I did a search for xinitrc and found that it checks another file in the user's home directory, anyways eventually I found a file that I could delete to cause it to go back to the default wm sawfish :D :D :D

thanks for the help
