How can I replace XFCE4 window manager with awesome?
I tried to place the following content to the ~/.xinitrc
file:
#!/bin/sh
exec awesome
I also tried to do this stuff:
xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /sessions/Failsafe/Client0_Command -t string -s "awesome" -a
And it doesn't work. Of course I already installed awesome via
sudo apt-get install awesome
