[comp.windows.x] How to use twm with DECWindows on a DECstation 3100?

Has anyone been able to figure out how to use another window manager with
DECwindows on DECstation 3100? Seems like I remember reading about it in the
list sometime before I got a DECstation.

in your .Xdefaults file add:

sm.windowManagerName:   /usr/bin/X11/twm
(or whatever the pathname is...)
