how to write a .xinitrc

• using the global xinitrc
• be nice to the cluster: xset b off

window manager choices (X11_WINDOW_MANAGER)

• KDE (default)
• xfce
• fluxbox
• fvwm2
• wmaker
• sawfish
• mwm
• twm

To use a nondefault window manager

• put the following in your .login (before the line that starts X11) or in .xinitrc:
  export X11_WINDOW_MANAGER=<choice>

Also need to set USE_DESKTOP_ENVIRON to x11 for it to be meaningful
