I'm using Xubuntu 13.04 with xfce 4.10. I'm trying to entirely replace xfce 4.10 (not uninstall, but replace) with awesome. So far, I have yet to even get awesome to run.
The steps that I have tried thus far:
- Install awesome with
sudo apt-get install awesome - ~/.xinitrc now just contains
exec awesome. mkdir ~/.config/awesome/andcp /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua ~/.config/awesome/
I've tried restarting, I've tried just running awesome (I get E: awesome: main:445: another window manager is already running, which is expected, but I'd really like to start up my session in awesome, not have to manually quit xfce and then start awesome).
What am I missing?

I know this is not correct way to do it, but I just did:
And restarted X.
