using olvwm as the window manager

I have a fresh installation of Fedora2 and I want to make olvwm the default 
window manager. I have tried several things and I can actually get olvwm 
running, but it never reads my user setup files, so if I change my 
background color or something like that, the next time I log in its back to 
the original. I am not sure that I have it set up correct. If anyone knows 
how I should be doing this, please let me know. If you can give me a 
step-by-step instruction I would appreciate it so I can try to figure out 
where I went wrong.

Thanks!
Miranda
