Hi David,
I do a lot of work on in terminals connected via SSH to remote systems.
The ssh-agent application is one part of a solution that allows me to
cache my user credentials in memory. The other part is 'ssh-add'. When
set up correctly, I do not need to type my password every time that I
use 'ssh' to connect to a remote system. By loading ssh-agent up front,
all applications launched from StumpWM will share the same credentials
cache. So, it's mostly a convenience for my set up.
Adding 'ssh-agent' to stumpwm.desktop is *completely* unnecessary to get
StumpWM running. That line can be changed to 'Exec=stumpwm'
Good question

Hi,
Can you explain the need to append ssh-agent to stumpwm?
Also, I'm very interested in how unity-2d-panel plays with stumpwm. If
it doesn I can keep the gnome-panel, but I'm just curious.
I'll try this when I go home today.

Hi David,
You might be missing the session file. Both GDM and LightDM look in
/usr/share/xsessions/ to determine which window managers to allow you
to select.
Here is the one I created for my 11.10 install:
$ cat /usr/share/xsessions/stumpwm.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Stump Window Manager
Comment=StumpWM is a tiling window manager written in Common Lisp
Exec=ssh-agent stumpwm
TryExec=stumpwm
Icon=
Type=Application
Hope it helps,

Hello David!
Hi all,
I've recently upgraded to ubuntu 11.10 and my previous way of configuring
stumpwm as a user session
got broken. Has anyone been able to use Stumpwm in 11.10? Do I need to
register the window manager
as alternative with gnome somehow?
AFAICT they use LightDM as session manager. Before GDM was the default.
Perhaps you can install/activate GDM and use the same way to start
Stumpwm as before.
Stefan.
