Hopefully not because the variable WINDOWMANAGER is set /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession with the help of the first argument which is normally given by kdm/gdm. If this is done by kdm/gdm it is also marked as a forced value and the system default from /etc/profile.d/profile.sh is ignored. Also the forced value is used to start /etc/X11/xdm/sys.xsession with the WINDOWMANAGER. If not forced then the following scripts are tried $HOME/.xsession $HOME/.xinitrc /etc/X11/xdm/sys.xsession /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and at least the script tries to execute WINDOWMANAGER its self. For the last two scripts /etc/X11/xdm/sys.xsession and /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc the common script /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common is sourced and with this WINDOW_MANAGER is set to WINDOWMANAGER. The question is: does the script from Wolfgang depend on WINDOW_MANAGER or on WINDOWMANAGER or is window manager hard coded. Nevertheless if kdm/gdm provide a choosen WINDOWMANAGER this used a forced value for the script /etc/X11/xdm/sys.xsession. -- 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.
