[Member schproodle]

I want to have icewm selected by default at the login dialogue instead of having to choose it with F1

Hello schprooodle.

I don’t know how to write in English and I send you my texts translated by the internet translator, I hope you can understand everything.

You don’t need to keep pressing the F1 key to select the desktop every time you start antiX. The last desktop you used before shutting down or restarting your computer will be the desktop that will open next time.

Regardless of your level of knowledge about GNU/Linux, I recommend you read these excellent tutorials created by @PPC:

Olá schproodle.

Eu não sei escrever em inglês e te envio os meus textos traduzidos pelo tradutor da internet, eu espero que você consiga compreender tudo.

Você não precisa ficar pressionando a tecla F1 para selecionar a área de trabalho toda vez que você inicia o antiX. A última área de trabalho que você utilizou antes de desligar ou reiniciar o seu computador será a área de trabalho que será aberta na próxima vez.

Independentemente do seu nível de conhecimento sobre GNU/Linux, eu recomendo você ler estes excelentes tutoriais criados pelo @PPC:

The translation was fine. 🙂

The selection with F1 is always required with my new system. 🙁

Unless you have managed to seriously break something that is incorrect,

The desktop choice is always presented but if you just login you will be in
the last used desktop.

OK. I now see that the last used desktop appears, already selected after I enter username and before I enter password.
