I haven't figured out how to change the window manager yet
I recall ocicat once told me : "there is more than 1 way of doing it" .. so consider my k.i.s.s way :
while on cli and after pkg_adding the target wm (eg. ratpoison ) , just issue :
Code:
 $ xinit /usr/local/bin/ratpoison
you can set things in ~/.xinitrc to always start one particular wm with 'startx'.
Apart from fvwm there is also cwm and it's really calm & cool :
$ which cwm
Code:
/usr/X11R6/bin/cwm
some window managers get slightly different names after installation.. eg. ion (installs as ion3) .. enlightenment (installs as e16) .. a 'pkg_info -L' helps you learn about.
