152 Window Managers other than <xref linkend="openbox"/> may be used, e.g.
153 <xref linkend="xfwm4"/>. Notice that <xref linkend="icewm"/> is not a
154 valid replacement. <application>Fluxbox</application> does work, although
155 in this context (with <xref linkend="lxqt-config"/>) <xref
156 linkend="openbox"/> is better. The configuration file
157 <filename>/etc/xdg/lxqt/windowmanagers.conf</filename> comes with several
158 examples of Window Managers and the ones which are installed will appear
159 in a drop down list of <command>lxqt-config-session</command>. For the
160 ones not included in
161 <filename>/etc/xdg/lxqt/windowmanagers.conf</filename>, you can use the
162 <command>lxqt-config-session</command> "search" button, e.g. for <xref
163 linkend="fluxbox"/>, navigating through the file system until you can
164 choose <command>fluxbox</command>. Alternatively, if you wish the Window
165 Manager of your choice to appear in the drop down list, include it in
166 <filename>/etc/xdg/lxqt/windowmanagers.conf</filename>. For <xref
167 linkend="fluxbox"/>, include the line
