Please see the following output I generated from Squeeze. $ aptitude why twm i gnome Depends gnome-desktop-environment (= 1:2.24.3~2) i A gnome-desktop-environment Depends gdm (>= 2.20.9) i A gdm Depends gnome-session | x-session-manager | x-window-manager | x-terminal-emulator i twm Provides x-window-manager
1. It shows that twm was installed because gdm needs a window manager and twm is one such window manager. Does it mean that gnome is dependent on twm? 2. Is it possible to run gnome with some other window manager? 3. I am unable to see any twm process in the ps listing. Why? 4. Can someone share the equivalent 'aptitude why' output from a system running KDE? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
