Hi, Denis, I have been an fvwm user for years, but the lazy kind, I didnt catch up with technical changes. I began to use kde too, for 2 functions I cant find with fvwm: - Multiple X session, and switching betweeen them
You can do this using qingy. You just Ctrl+Alt+F* to switch vt, and start another session with X. And then you can Ctrl+Alt+F* to switch between them. Btw, this is not suposed to be the task of fvwm.
- suspending computer (kde: kmenu-->logout-->suspend computer)
Once again, qingy can do this. Logout fvwm and then on qingy select "suspend". Once again, this is not the task of fvwm. Kde interacts with kdm to achieve the above. Btw, qingy is a logon manager, just like kdm, and being independent allows it to be more flexible than kdm. Cheers Renato
You say "I'm using fvwm with KDE (nice combination !)", makes me think you master the combination. I proceed in a quite clumsy way: first logon KDE, then open a new session under fvwm, and every time I want to suspend go back to kde first. Do you run fvwm as the kde WM, as suggested in http://fvwm.org/documentation/faq? Does it give you access to all the kde functions? Do you know if there is a specific howto, that could help me in this setup? Thanks a lot! Denis Prost a écrit : > Hi, > > I'm new to the list. > > I'm using fvwm with KDE (nice combination !).
