 Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2005 6:36 pm Post subject: FVWM install? |
 |
|
| hey all, i had fvwm installed along with fvwm-crystal, when i unmerged fvwm-crystal (wanting to try to make my own .fvwm2rc from scratch) it removed the FVWM session option from GDM.. now i can't seem to get it back unless i emerge fvwm-crystal again. there is still the fvwm2 file in the /etc/X11/Sessions folder, but its just not coming up as an option. any ideas? |

| Hi, search for .desktop files, for example gnome.desktop. I am not on my gentoo box atm and I don't remember exactly the directory where they are, should be something like /usr/share/xsessions. Create a fvwm.desktop in the same directory, and you'll have fvwm in gdm (this is what fvwm-crystal do actually, if you look at its list of installed files) |

| Ok thanks, should there be anything written to the file? or just a blank file called fvwm.desktop? I notice that gnome.desktop has quite a bit writen to it. |

No, there should be something in the file, like this:
| Code: |
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Fvwm2
Name[fr]=Fvwm2
Exec=fvwm2
Icon=
Type=Application
