Hi
I am on an intel imac osx 10.6.5 with 2gb memory.
I have an applescript that returns an answer that is used in a shell script to
start up a window manager. In this case kde4. When I execute it it startup
x11.app. I have in .xinitrc.d a script that selects the window manager to run.
The problem with kde4 is that the startkde command starts but the kde4
background and panel do not show.
if I execute the shell script from a terminal it does. I am confused about kde4
startup. Is there something else I must do before the startkde command to get
it to work?
Your help would be appreciated. other window managers, such as gnome work fine.
Even kde3 will work.
Here is the details:
in .xinitrc.d I have: 74-x.sh. It contains:
#!/bin/sh
. /sw/bin/init.sh
case $program
