I want to use Fluxbox but I also want to be able to use KDE. With the fluxbox set up you have to change things around so startx no longer starts KDE, it starts fluxbox. Can I make a command 'Fluxbox' so when I type that it starts Fluxbox and when i type 'startx' it starts KDE?

from command line type xwmconfig.....a menu should pop up, make your choice. then type startx.

this dosnt answer the question but you can also startx and move ~/.xinitrc and then restart X

This only works with Slackware

You could just use startx fluxbox, or just create an alias called something like 'startflux' that executes startx fluxbox
