Since entrance doesnt presently work "out-of-the-box" with FC5 (changes
made to xorg) I found a hack of the entrance configure file that will
start entrance.
[1] in entrance configure file, change to read:
xbin=/usr/bin
xsession=/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession
[2] then run "./configure" (NOT ./autogen.sh) then "make install"
this assumes one has setup /etc/X11/xinit/Xsession file like this:
==========
.
.
.
# now, we see if xdm/gdm/kdm has asked for a specific environment
case $# in
1)
if [ -x "$SWITCHDESKPATH/Xclients.$1" ]; then
exec -l $SHELL -c "$SWITCHDESKPATH/Xclients.$1";
fi;
case "$1" in
failsafe)
exec -l $SHELL -c "xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0"
;;
gnome)
exec -l $SHELL -c "$SSH_AGENT $DBUS_LAUNCH gnome-session"
;;
Enlightenment)
exec -l $SHELL -c "$SSH_AGENT $DBUS_LAUNCH enlightenment"
;;
kde|kde1|kde2)
exec -l $SHELL -c "$SSH_AGENT $DBUS_LAUNCH
$SWITCHDESKPATH/Xclients.kde"
;;
.
.
.
===============
[3] change /etc/sysconfig/desktop file to read:
DISPLAYMANAGER="E17"
[4] modify /etc/X11/prefdm file :
==========
.
.
.
# Run preferred X display manager
preferred=
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/desktop
if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = GNOME ]; then
preferred=/usr/sbin/gdm
elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDE ]; then
preferred=/usr/bin/kdm
elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = XDM ]; then
preferred=/usr/bin/xdm
elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = E17 ]; then
preferred=/usr/local/sbin/entranced
elif [ -n "$DISPLAYMANAGER" ]; then
preferred=$DISPLAYMANAGER
fi
fi
.
.
.
=====================
(told you it was a hack, but it works here).
The only odd thing is a DBUS_LUANCH message I get when using entrance to
start a gnome session. Doesnt happen with a KDE session launched from
entrance.
I assume that down the road something more intelligent than this will
emerge.
