Re: ice window manager not working
Thus spake Patrick Dahiroc: hi i'm using icewm for my window manager. on one of my accounts the window manager does not work i.e when i bring up gnome-terminal i cannot move it around and i don't have any virtual windows. but when i login on a different account using the same window manger everything works fine. how do i fix this problem? Try looking in ~/.xsession-errors for anything that looks helpful. Also compare the two ~/.xsession files for anything odd. Then try going through the configuration for the WM itself - most have such a thing, and I think icewm's is called iceconf, AFAIK.

If icewm is already the current selection, try a different window manager and then reselect icewm. Or edit .xsession and make last line in the file exec icewm -- Jerome

i use gdm for x manager. does gdm i still use .xsession? i thought that only xdm uses .xsession. if so what would be the corresponding file for gdm? --- Jerome Acks Jr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Patrick Dahiroc wrote: hi i'm using icewm for my window manager. on one of my accounts the window manager does not work i.e when i bring up gnome-terminal i cannot move it around and i don't have any virtual windows. but when i login on a different account using the same window manger everything works fine. how do i fix this problem? thanks patrick __ Do You Yahoo!?

If you start Xsession or Debian from gdm, ~/.xsession is used. You could start gnome by starting Xsession and having exec gnome-session as last line in your .xsession file. gnome defaults are in /etc/gnome and uses system default window manager specified in /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager. Your specific gnome window manager would be in ~/.gnome/wm-properties/Config. --- Jerome Acks Jr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Patrick Dahiroc wrote: hi i'm using icewm for my window manager. on one of my accounts the window manager does not work i.e when i bring up gnome-terminal i cannot move it around and i don't have any virtual windows. but when i login on a different account using the same window manger everything works fine. how do i fix this problem? thanks patrick __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: ice window manager not working
i finally fixed the problem by removing ~/.gnome/session, i must have corrupted this file one way or another. when i looked at the home directory i don't the file .xsession. in any case things are back to normal now. well almost i still don't have my virtual windows, and i've forgotten how make them. can anybody remind me how to make them? thanks --- Jerome Acks Jr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Patrick Dahiroc wrote: i use gdm for x manager. does gdm i still use .xsession? i thought that only xdm uses .xsession. if so what would be the corresponding file for gdm? gdm uses scripts in /etc/gdm/Sessions.
