green menu bars = twm
wmaker = much better, check it out @ http://www.windowmaker.org

After editing the wdm-config, you need to restart wdm.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will kill the X server and re-read all the configs.
can you please post your wdm-config and a list of your package installed
? (or make them available online)
the relevant section in my config:
---
! It will run .xsession
!DisplayManager*wdmWm: None
---
which means it will read .xsession in my home.
my .xsession is :
$ cat ~/.xsession
## RUNNING bbkeys from Blackbox because it feels more powerful
## to avoid conflicts with fluxbox's key mgr, I emptied .fluxbox/keys
bbkeys &
xscreensaver -no-splash &
fbpager -w &
#wmwifi &
sleep 1 && gkrellm -w &
#fbdesk &
torsmo &
tilda &
skype &
gaim &
fluxbox
---
though I realise that I should be simply running startfluxbox and adding
all the other cmds to ~/.fluxbox/startup
