icewm and windowmaker
Hi all, I've just installed windowmaker to have a look at it. (Running unstable.) I was using icewm before. In order to get windowmaker to start, I have to edit /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50xfree86-common_determine-startup - specifically to change: if [ -x /usr/bin/x-session-manager ]; then REALSTARTUP=x-session-manager elif [ -x /usr/bin/x-window-manager ]; then to: # if [ -x /usr/bin/x-session-manager ]; then #REALSTARTUP=x-session-manager if [ -x /usr/bin/x-window-manager ]; then This is because x-session-manager is provided by the installed icewm-session: $ sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager There is only 1 program which provides x-session-manager (/usr/bin/icewm-session).
