xdm honours .xsession but wdm not
I'm trying to use wdm and want xscreensaver to be started when wmaker
starts. I've searched the list but couldn't find a solution. I tryied to
use .xsession and .Xsession with the following content:
#!/bin/bash
xscreensaver -exit
xscreensaver -nosplash &
exec wmaker
I also have in /etc/X11/Xsession.options the line:
allow-user-xsession
But xscreensaver does not start. I've tried to put
xscreensaver -exit
xscreensaver -nosplash &
in /etc/X11/wdm/Xsetup_0 and /etc/X11/wdm/Xstartup_0 but nothing. Also
tryied to rewrite .xsession and .Xsession because someone had the
problem of having some spurious characters in the file but neither this
lead me to a result. When using xdm, xscreensaver is started. May be
this problem related to that I'm using xorg compiled not xfree86. I'd
appreciate if someone could give me some hint.
