Hi everyone, Since this fellow who asked for advice on how to go directly into different window managers has objections to the method, it may of confused some of the newbies on this list on how to go about it. A careful study of his objections shows a person whose ego cannot take someone having a real solution. In fact, his confused objections leap out at you with his mailings and you must see such reactions are mere manifestations of the uncontrolled ego when encountering an equation that is beyond the scope of his limited intelligence.
I will go through the method step by step for newbies to assure myself that he hasn't confused everyone with his silly objections. I am giving a superior method and perhaps the only real method of logging in directly to your window sessions. None of this person's complaints about it's method hold any water at all. Here's how to do it. Now this young fellow wants to write a bug report to the person who created the manual for the mehod. I'm certainly willing to abide by the fiction that it will create bugs. Such remarks are unworthy of any linux users time. This is how to do it step by step and I'll start right from the beginning. 1. To find the start up script you use the "type" command. To wit: On your command line you do this: type wmaker. This will give you your startup script which is: /usr/bin/wmaker You now have the startup script path to give permissions. 2. Do this on the command line. chmod a+x /usr/bin/wmaker chown (user name) /usr/bin/wmaker chgrup (user name) /usr/bin/wmaker You have now given the proper permissions for window maker. 3. You then copy your startup script into your sessions file for direct access from your log in box. cp -a /usr/bin/wmaker /etc/gdm/Sessions/WindowMaker 4. You use the same instructions for afterstep, blackbox, fluxbox, enlightenment, icwn and others tha you may duly prefer. 5. After entering all these commands, you log out and go back to your Debian log in box. You click sessions,and log into any window manager you deem fit. 6. I've found no other method superior to this one. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
