Out of curiosity has anyone ever thought about using fvwm in place of a display manager? Have any developers thought about creating an fvwm config that would act as a display manager, or implementing a display manager that is fvwm driven?
Basically I just want a display manager that will allow either user selection from a menu or a user name and password entry, but I dont' want to have to rely on gnome or kde under-pinings. I was thinking that I could probably just start up a stripped down window session with fvwm and remove all of the default key-bindings. (Or maybe start up a non-privelaged user account that doesn't have a shell entry and have it present the menu...) I could then decorate it with all the eye candy and functionality that gdm provides, but I'm not sure how to go about replacing the currently running fvwm session with an fvwm session running as a different user. So I guess in all of my rambling my question isn't really fvwm specific, but it does relate to fvwm. How do I create a new fvwm session from a currently running fvwm session with different user privelages? --s.r.d. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
