I have a TiPB (550 MHz) running Mac OS 10.1.3. I downloaded Sawfish via
Fink (I have Fink installed, obviousely). When I use the "dselect" function
in Fink to download Sawfish, it has asked me also to install other
"dependencies" (?). Anyway, I think that everything was installed correctly
for I received no error messages. I also have Xdarwin installed.
According to FAQ in Fink, I modified the .xinitrc file in my directory
(in "Users" directory) as shown below:
#!/bin/sh
# $Xorg: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:30 cpqbld Exp $
source /sw/bin/init.sh
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
# start some nice programs
source /sw/bin/init.sh
xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
exec sawfish

Now, when I start Xdarwin, a clock window and 2 xterm windows show up.
These windows show very nice borders (with some blue colors on them) which
are very different (and prettier) from the default twm. The background
remain the same (I believe that that is how it should be).
My questions are:
1. Did I set my .xinitrc file correctly to have sawfish running? If not,
what should I have done?
2. When I minimize the windows, they just disappear. What am I doing
wrong?
2. Once everything is set correctly to run Sawfish, where do I go from
here?
3. I would like to be able to use the theme with the cow on it. How can
I do that?
4. How can I get backgrounds showing up? How about the icons for the
programs?
I am very new to the Unix stuff and that's why I used Fink. Fink helped
me to get programs, but I don�t know where to go from here. I would really
appreciate any help. Thanks so much!!
