[BUGS] x11 & window managers

[jonathan michaels]

greetings

some assistance needed, please 

i have (i think) gotten my desktop to teh point where i would
like it to be, before i start to followup all those error
messages some applications constantly fill teh log files with
upon startup, but that is for another story/day/something like
that .. 

i have setup basic freebsd desktop using the gnome school of
thought, though i may be changing to kde sooner that latter, i
think. but, for the moment my problem is not being able to
change (forced or otherwise) the underlaying window manager.

my prefered/faverite is fvwm2 (no preaching, i've used it for
10 plus years and its too hard for me to change) i have read
that if you set teh window_manager=fvwm2 and restart x11, even
if i shutdown 1/ x11, 2/ teh computer as a whole .. it still
comes back with metacity as teh underlaying window manager ...
grrrr.

how do i change this wiout tearing it all down and rebuilding
.. i am not sure if i can do that again ?? not at this point in
time, other problems bearing  down.

ideas plans appreciated

most kind regards

jonathan
