A useful way to test GARNOME is to run GARNOME using Xnest, a nested X
server.
[from the man page]
Xnest is a client and a server. Xnest is a client of the real
server which manages windows and graphics requests on its
behalf. Xnest is a server to its own clients. Xnest manages
windows and graphics requests on their behalf. To these clients
Xnest appears to be a conventional server.
(1) create a new test-user account
for example: user = test-user, group = test-user
As the new test-user:
(2) create a bin directory in the new test-user's home directory
(3) copy the two attached files to that bin directory
(4) make those two files executable
chmod +x xinitrc.garnome xnest.garnome
(5) edit xinitrc.garnome to reflect your GARNOME installation
[set GARNOME to the top of your install tree]
You are almost ready to launch.
(6) allow the new test-user to make connections to the X server
In another window where you are logged in as the user that owns
the desktop and X server, run
xhost +test-user
(7) change permissions on various /dev files to allow access by
test-user
If you want test-user to have access to sound and other devices that you
can currently access, you need to adjust the permissions accordingly.
Look in /dev for files that you own and change permission to 666.
(8) Launch time...
As test-user run:
~/bin/xnest.garnome &
Enjoy,
