To install a Window Manager open Apps browser, click "Apps" -> "Cloud (Remote)" -> "Browse".
Click on the "Search" drop-down menu and set it to "Tags".
Type window manager in the search field, press ENTER.
After you have installed a different window manager that you want to use, make sure it is the only one set to be loaded OnBoot.
"Apps" -> "Maintenance" -> "OnBoot Maintenance".

thanx for the help Miself and nitram, I now have nautilus and openbox setup, and they seem to be functioning, I would like to ask one last thing before wrapping up my thread,
I cant seem to drag/drop anything to my desktop, what I want to do is be able to place files and application shortcut's/launchers on the desktop for easy access, how can I do that?
Misalf:
See nautilus --help which shows the --force-desktop option.
You could create a file in the ~/.X.d directory, containing:
--- Code: ---nautilus --force-desktop &
--- End code ---
So it starts each time X is launched.

icons showed up on the desktop, but then they disappeared and I can't get them back, I don't understand what to do
Misalf:
Make sure you add the "&" sign at the end of the command, so that it runs in the background but the script can exit.
Also, can you start it from a terminal window?

I can start it from the terminal, but my dock at the bottom is missing now, and I cant right click launch applications from the menu, when I right click I only see "new folder" "paste" "organize desktop by name" and "keep aligned"
