Okay, currently my system only has X and icewm installed and it is compiling KDE (which I hope to god it finishes but I have doubts). So, I am wondering, how do I tell my system to log me into icewm instead of whatever environment X uses? Cause whatever X uses is very ugly XD. For info: I use: startx in order to start my GUI.

for startx, create ~/.xinitrc with the contents:
also, from /etc/rc.conf :
| Code: |
# XSESSION is a new variable to control what window manager to start
# default with X if run with xdm, startx or xinit. The default behavior
# is to look in /etc/X11/Sessions/ and run the script in matching the
# value that XSESSION is set to. The support scripts are smart enough to
# look in all bin directories if it cant find a match in /etc/X11/Sessions/,
# so setting it to "enlightenment" can also work. This is basically used
# as a way for the system admin to configure a default system wide WM,
# allthough it will work if the user export XSESSION in his .bash_profile, etc.
#
# NOTE: 1) this behaviour is overridden when a ~/.xinitrc exists, and startx
# is called.
# 2) even if ~/.xsession exists, if XSESSION can be resolved, it will
# be executed rather than ~/.xsession, else KDM breaks ...
#
# Defaults depending on what you install currently include:
#
# Gnome - will start gnome-session
# kde-<version> - will start startkde (ex: kde-3.0.2)
# Xsession - will start a terminal and a few other nice apps
#XSESSION="kde-3.4.1"
|
(for when you get kde going)

it should be
| Code: | | XSESSION="kde-3.4.1" |
not
| Code: | | #XSESSION="kde-3.4.1" |
