startx no longer requires "-- :[tty#]" at least in sddm
I'm using lightdm to spawn fvwm. I suppose I could try `startx /usr/bin/startxfce4` ? I'd still need to setuid on X itself for this, yes?
Once upon a time, when Stefan Dirsh[1] wasn't yet adamant that startx was unsupported, he wrote correct syntax to specify session to have startx run was:
WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/bin/icewm startx
Yeah, I took the ~/.xinitrc.template to make a ~/.xinitrc and added export WINDOWMANAGER=xfce4. I suppose I should make that /usr/bin/startxfce4. But ok, guess I need to setuid X (chmod +s /usr/bin/Xorg if my old notes still obtain). Or the /etc/permissions.local route. Will try the next time I'm ready to have to restart all my normal desktop stuff... Thanks. Michael -- Michael Fischer michael@visv.net
