Re: Gnome2 wm trials....
I haven't been able to get at this machine for a few hours to work on it, but I
am now.
I do have gnome-session2, I did add the experimental stuff to the sources.list
file,and gnome2 does run once I hack around the starting errors. I'm not worried
about breaking this box, we have others running fine here at our Internet cafe,
running woody/gnome1.4
I ran a :
# dpkg-reconfigure gnome-session2
and guesswhat it did? It made kde2 the default session manager!
# ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2002-07-13 18:43
/etc/alternatives/x-session-manager -> /usr/bin/kde2
So I will manually make it a link to gnome-session.......
# rm x-session-manager
# ln -s /usr/bin/gnome-session x-session-manager
..... restart session....
Didn't help. I'm back with twm with xterm...
killall twm; sleep 1; sawfish &
gnome-panel &
It gets borring doing this everytime I start a session. But then I can just
leave it running all the time, and I'll never have to repeat it....
