Belgian keyboard and other windows manager


Hello,

I am a beginner with cygwin, while I know how to use Linux (not as an expert
yet).

When I start xwin with startxwin.bat, the default keyboard in the xterm
appears to be querty and the default window manager appears to be twm.

I have 2 questions:

1/ How can I define the default keyboard to be Belgian (as in windows and
cygwin) and

2/ how can I use another window manager, for example xfce ?

Thank you for your help,

Best regards,

Nicolas Pettiaux
