hello,
just edit $HOME/.xinitrc and put the window manager of your choice in, e.g.
exec start-kde - or better yet!
exec /usr/local/bin/fvwm

This is probably too late since you indicated you were going to install Win2K but in case anyone else has the problem, try this link.

BB4Win Command Line Options
