[Desktop Switcher]Installing new window manager]

["David Jackson" <trashcan mustardandrelish com>]

I posted this "tip" to fedora-list yersterday, and the question was asked
how do you add it to "Desktop Switcher"?

Any solutions?

Hi David

Out of interest, I installed icewm as per your instructions and everything
worked fine including adding the gdm Sessions entry. Except there is no
entry within deskswitch for ICEWM. Should the installation have added an
entry for it, or must I manually add it; and if so how?

Thank you
