   I am running Red Hat 8 on a Pentium II/350, with GDM and FVWM.  Also, I have installed this on my Toshiba laptop with a Pentium 233.  GDM will launch FVWM, or TWM or any other window manager you might want.  Look into /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions.  This is what configures the sessions menu in GDM.  You should be able to figure it out.  You will have to add an FVWM launch line to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession.  Again, you should be able to figure this out.

   All of this should go fo XFCE, OLWM or any other unofficial window manager you might want to add to Red Hat.
