Want To Replace Openbox With PekWM

Post by Mark »

I've been having a look at PekWM and I think I like the look of it better (more modern), so I'd like to make it the default window manager in LXDE (for me, anyway). I tried replacing @openbox with @pekwm in the ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart file, but it keeps going back to openbox.

The window manager is not started via the autostart mechanism.

It is in the [Session] window_manager key that will be in the first of ~/config/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf or /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf.

Hi,

Have a look at ".config/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf", or install LXSessionEdit.
