Re: How to run matchbox-window-manger on redhat ?

You have to start X server with Matchbox as you window manager. I wont
  just start with the command line running. Read the manual on how to
do this.
Also, if you wanted to, you could just run matchbox-session from the
terminal and it would run matchbox, without the window manager.
