First let me apologize for my previous post because this email got sent to 
the trashbin and I read it after the snipped reply of my earlier post. That 
being said you should follow the other advice.

Same comments as my other post but with this one thought. Thsi same question 
was in a alt.slackware.* or comp.slackware.* newsgroup a couple of days ago 
and there was another suggestion about scripting out start x so that you 
could send an argument to it such as kde | gnome | wmaker and then it would 
launch that windowmanager. was good idea if you like to change WM often.
