Re: How to test wm's??

[Martin Egholm Nielsen]

Hi,

I wondered how you test a window manager. How to you code
a window manager and test it on the fly.
When I code, I usualy use emacs in blackbox to do my
coding. But when your are coding a window manager you
have to start test it somehow whitout interrupting with
the window manager already running... if you understand
:-)
To make it short: When you hack blackbox how do you
do...?
I simply start yet another X:

$ X -ac :1
$ export DISPLAY=:1
$ xterm &
This one will be available on CTRL-ALT-F8...

I do this to maintain a perfectly working session on ":0" 
without the risk of crashing all the others thing I might be 
doing besides coding...

Regards,
 Martin
