Mario,
Look into ~/.xinitrc. If you put a single line in there (there will be more
in most distro's X installs), it should be nothing but the path to the window
manager. For example, on my FreeBSD box, here's my .xinitrc in my home dir:
/usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment
--- and that's it. For KDE, that line's usually something like:
/usr/bin/startkde
There's no need to put in an 'exec' statement. In fact, that will kill the
xinit process before the WM comes up.
Anytime you start x with either the 'startx' command or 'xinit' it will open
that WM by default.
If I'm wrong -- woops :)
