Open Systemsettings -> Standard Components, there's an entry for the window manager. I can chose between KDE default (KWin), and another window manager. The dropdown list has Metacity (GNOME) and Openbox, although I have more window managers installed, including awesome, which show up in KDM. Maybe this link helps: http://www.nanolx.org/newslinux/kde4-change-wm I find metacity.desktop and openbox.desktop in /usr/share/apps/ksmserver/windowmanagers/, so I guess you have to find awesome.desktop, and put it there. Or create such a file yourself like suggestend in the link above. Wonko
