Hi,
about this problem, a little explanation, for example for firefox.
1. On my debian, I launch mozilla firefox using a terminal and typing
"iceweasel" (name of firefox on debian)
2. iceweasel is a script. This script do "exec
/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin" (see man exec).
3. X11 see that the program running is "/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin"
a. WindowMaker, uses "getCommandForWindow(Window win, int elements)
(misc.c:1104) to ask X11
b. This function execs "XGetCommand" to read the Window command
c. In this case, XGetCommand returns "firefox-bin"
Problems:
1. I typed "iceweasel" but WindowMaker gets "firefox-bin"
2. "firefox-bin" is not in the path, the application cannot be
launched.
3. If the application is in the path, really we want run the binary
(without the script)?
Cheers,
kix
