My Mandrake, which is supposed to be very RedHat compatible, came with a
BlackBox entry for [GK]DM, but this was for BlackBox 5. After installing
BlackBox 6 in /usr/local, I wrote the following file:
---------- begin /etc/X11/wmsession.d/05blackbox6 ----------
NAME=BlackBox6
ICON=BlackBox.xpm
EXEC=/usr/local/bin/blackbox
DESC=A Light but nice looking window manager
SCRIPT:
/usr/local/bin/bbkeys -i &
exec /usr/local/bin/blackbox
----------- end /etc/X11/wmsession.d/05blackbox6 -----------
I then ran /usr/sbin/fndSession as root, which updated automatically the
GDM and KDM menus. Thus, I have now a BlackBox6 entry in my KDM login
screen, in addition to the old BlackBox entry.
The only problem is that the initialisation script being system wide,
all the users in my system get the same set of bbapps with BlackBox.
This is only a theoretical problem for me, since I'm the only user of my
system. It nevertheless illustrates the fact that lanching the bbapps
from the initializatoin script, instead of from the BlackBox config, is
a bad thing.
