[comp.windows.x] DEC's Xterminals

Is there a way to completely disable DXSession manager and run some other
window manager on DEC's X terminals?

I routinely do this on my Decstation 5000 but the session manager seems to come
on when the terminal is turned on and I dont see a way of getting rid of
this.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Somewhere in the "customize" menu is a little button
to allow alternate window managers: if the button is
lit up then starting a window manager displaying on
the screen will make the X-terminal window manager
go away.  You can't get rid of the terminal manager
(a window provided by the terminal)--and I don't
think you would want to since without it you can't
do a great deal with the terminal ....
