Re: gnome and WindowMaker

["Hall" <dhs erinet com>]

The FAQ at www.gnome.org spells it out... Here's the exact page:
http://www.gnome.org/gnomefaq/html/x441.html

Or, if you're really lazy ;-), here's the text:

"If you don't want session management, GNOME will work fine without it. Put
the line exec gnome-wm at the end of your X startup script, as
described above. It will still use the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable
to select your window manager, but not bother with session
management. Run panel, gmc, or whatever as desired, either manually, or in
the startup script before the exec line."

It gives an example which actually is very similar to your "old" startup
script. It looks like this:

panel &
gmc &
exec gnome-wm

The "panel" and "gmc" lines are certainly optional.

Enjoy!
