Re: Cant set windowmaker as default manager

[Leland Elie <datazone airmail net>]

I didn't mean it like that, but of all the responses he got, no one even
bothered to ask which control-center version he had, and if you scroll
back through the archieve you will see that there is a mention of 1.0.6
having problems remembering the WM selection.  Now if he don't have
1.0.6, then by all means try different methods to solve the problem, i
was just trying to be practical about the whole thing.
