I get Fvwm-Crystal and gnome to work with gdm and gnome-session. I get the idea from Thomas Adam's article on the Linux Gazette: http://linuxgazette.net/100/adam.html
The problem with Thomas Adam solution is at it can be somewhat tricky to get gnome-session to work well with fvwm, and the gnome session will be sacrified. I experimented a little with this and get it to work very well with both wm. I also find a way to get it to work from the "scratch". Read without any other user intervention as just copy a few files in order to be able to launch both gnome or fvwm-crystal directly from gdm. What is needed is to modify one line in the 'fvwm-crystal.desktop' file for gdm, a '~/.gnome2/session' file with a "start" section for Fvwm-Crystal, and to modify the different Quit functions /Fvwm use QuitSession when managed by gnome-session. You can read more about it here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-548178-highlight-.html I think at it will be a really good optional feature for Fvwm-crystal. It is just one thing I must think about before to commit this: test if gnome-session is running, if yes incorporate a little session manager button. Another solution will be to make the same test, and incorporate it in the menu when gnome-session is running. I prefer the button option, but if the majority want to have it in the menu, I can do so. I put a picture at http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/5847/screenshot200704152253cg9.png The session manager button is the little button at the lower left corner The other 2 files show gnome-session. On the first one, we can see the 2 sessions: Default is gnome, and Fvwm-Crystal is Crystal. On the second one, we can see the running programs. Alsaplayer is running but don't appear. I don't care about it as it is launched from the Audio button. http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/4263/screenshot200704152259yq7.png http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/2316/screenshot200704152301tw5.png Ciao, Dominique _______________________________________________ fvwm-crystal-users mailing list fvwm-crystal-users@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/fvwm-crystal-users
