I am trying to get vnc-server running on my Cell Blade which runs YDL. 
Since the blade has no video, there was no default window manager 
installed.  When I run gvncviewer on my ubuntu box - all I get is twm ==> 
yuck.  That is one of the worst wm's I have ever encountered.  Guess I am 
spoiled by modern wm's.

Tracking down where the wm is set leads me to the file 
/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients.  In Xclients the wm is set by either executing 
/etc/sysconfig/desktop or setting the variable "PREFERRED".  Is there 
anything in /etc/sysconfig/desktop besides the variable PREFERRED?  Anyone 
have a sample listing?

I think I know how to set PREFERRED, I was wondering if desktop had any 
other settings.

So is there a cli script to set the desktop?

Thanks
-Bruce
