    <title>Configuring lxqt-session</title>

    <para>
      Window Managers other than <xref linkend="openbox"/> may be used, e.g.
      <xref linkend="xfwm4"/>. Notice that <xref linkend="icewm"/> is not a
      good replacement. <application>Fluxbox</application> does work, although
      in this context (with <xref linkend="lxqt-config"/>) <xref
      linkend="openbox"/> is better.  The configuration file
      <filename>/usr/share/lxqt/windowmanagers.conf</filename> comes with many
      examples of Window Managers and the ones which are installed will appear
      in a drop down list of <command>lxqt-config-session</command>. For the
      ones not included in
      <filename>/usr/share/lxqt/windowmanagers.conf</filename>, you can use the
      <command>lxqt-config-session</command> "search" button, e.g. for <xref
      linkend="fluxbox"/>, navigating through the file system until you can
      choose <command>fluxbox</command>. <!--Alternatively, if you wish the Window
      Manager of your choice to appear in the drop down list, include it in
      <filename>/etc/xdg/lxqt/windowmanagers.conf</filename>. For <xref
      linkend="fluxbox"/>, include the line
    </para>

<screen role="nodump"><userinput><literal>fluxbox/Name=Fluxbox</literal></userinput></screen>
    <para>
      and it will appear as an option in the drop down list. To change the WM,
      after selecting it, you need to restart the session.
