[Bug 217258] New: DEFAULT_WM special for icewm
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217258 Summary: DEFAULT_WM special for icewm Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jengelh@gmx.de QAContact: kde-maintainers@suse.de For KDM to start icewm properly (i.e. /usr/X11R6/bin/icewm-session instead of just /usr/X11R6/bin/icewm), one needs to put DEFAULT_WM="icewm-session" into /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager rather than DEFAULT_WM="icewm". But how is one supposed to know? Could an extra line to ?dm be added so that <the following> works? if [ "$DEFAULT_WM" == "icewm-session" ]; then DEFAULT_WM=icewm; fi; -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Both icewm and icewm-session are valid commands to start icewm, the latter is just more capable (it starts icewmbg and icewmtray and restarts icewm on crash). IMO the init scripts should do what the administrator sets in the config and not guess. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
