Starting Window Managers

A window manager is a special X application with which you can manage (move, size, and arrange) X application windows. In addition, window managers frequently provide menus from which you can select commands to start other X applications. These menu commands are preconfigured with the command lines required to startup their respective X applications. You can run one window manager at a time on your Exceed onDemand Desktop.

Note: 
  This section applies only to Exceed onDemand Client for Windows.

You can start a window manager the same way you start any X application. If you use Xstart to start X applications, specify the appropriate command to start a window manager. If you use XDMCP, you can specify a window manager in the XDM session file on the host. You can also start a window manager from any command prompt on your host by specifying the appropriate command. For more information on remote startup methods, see Connecting to Hosts with Xstart.
