FVWM: Vpn w/ Fvwm

2016-07-20 Thread Dominik Vogt 
It's really not an fvwm problem, but this is driving me crazy.
The new box at work has some integrated environment using Gnome
("Openclient").  To create a Vpn connection you have to use
nm-applet from within a running gnome-session.  I've tried to run
it on a plain X session, but then it's missing some bit of
configuration.  At the moment to get a connection I run fvwm on
:0, then switch to initlevel 5 from there.  This starts gdm on :1.
There I log in to a gnome-session, start the connection and switch
back to :0, leaving Gnome running in the background.  (This works
only if nm-applet is run on :1 in the gnome-session, not if it's
run on :0.)

All this junk seems to be totally undocumented, so I have no idea
what nm-applet does under the hood.  Either there's some secret
communication channel available only under gnome-session, or there
is a permission problem.  Has anyone got this to work before?

Ciao

I have used nm-applet with fvwm in the past, but it's been a while.
I started it initially with this:

 + I Test (Init) Schedule 2000 Exec nm-applet

And you can swallow it into a fvwm button with this:

*FvwmButtons (Swallow (NoClose, UseOld) "stalonetray" `Exec stalonetray & 
nm-applet`)

You need to install stalonetray.  Then you can click on the icon to open
it.  You could also try the wicd network manager.
