Disabling x-session-manager
Hi, guys. I want to have an x-session-manager installed, but I still want to start up a window manager. Problem is, Branden's startup scripts don't allow this. So, I put together this .deb. It just adds another x-session-manager to update-alternatives: NONE. When you select none, then the session manager is skipped and the scripts immediately try to fire up the window manager. So, now you can have a session manager installed without being forced to run it. And, everything is controllable using the friendly update-alternatives system. There mus be other people out there who want this as well... Should I submit this? Or, should I send Branden a patched 50xfree86-common_determine-startup script instead? It's only 3K... I hope you don't mind my including the .deb with this message. - Scott noxsession_1-1_all.deb Description: application/archive "" Description: Binary data

Re: Disabling x-session-manager
OK, maybe I'm just stupid here, but I don't see how I can get a window manager to start if a session manager is installed. There's nothing about that in Xsession or Xsession.options. If you're suggesting that I modify /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50xfree86-common_determine-startup, well, I disagree. I did that with Xmodmap and then a few months later had to waste 1/2 hour figuring out why X wouldn't start up. Those files change too much for them to be considered "config files" (unless you expect us to merge our changes with yours every four months). Ya know, I'm quite certain the answer does not lie in rgb.txt. :) > On Sun, Nov 04, 2001 at 12:37:48PM -0800, Scott Bronson wrote: >> Hi, guys.
