hi gang,
I'm trying to configure .xinitrc so I can choose which window manager to use
on a whim, and of course there must be a default. Here is my current version:
#!/bin/sh
ARG=$1
DEFAULTWM="afterstep"
if [ ! $ARG ]; then
ARG=$DEFAULTWM
fi
if [ $ARG = "gnome" ];then
WM=gnome-session
elif [ $ARG = "kde" ];then
WM=startkde
elif [ $ARG = "after" ];then
WM=afterstep
else
WM=$DEFAULTWM
fi
exec $WM
Running 'startx' launches the default. But when I try 'startx gnome' or
'startx kde', it looks like X starts, then closes right away. Anything I use
as DEFAULTWM works. Any brilliant notions?
thanks!
