- olvwm is a window manager, just as twm is, and should be started before any
- xterms. Just comment out the "twm" line in xinitrc (?) and add the line
- "olvwm".
-
- I created a .xinitrc in my $HOME directory so that other users (if I ever
- have any on my system) will have twm by default. A personal copy of .xinitrc
- overrides the default xinitrc.
-
- Hope this helps,
