Correct me if I'm wrong... but are you asking for a way to run dtwm without the CDE baggage??? Well, you can! If you have CDE installed, simply use the openwindows session from the login manager. Change your window manager (in .openwin-init or .xinitrc) to /usr/dt/bin/dtwm. I've done this and I know it works (although colors were weird). Some people like to use CDE but dislike dtwm because of that front panel that takes up so much screen space. In that case, use mwm... Simply install an mwm binary in your favorite place and change the /usr/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtsession file to contain the line: DTsession*wmStartupCommand: /mwm Login through the CDE login manager and you're set! > > Regards, > Christian > -- > Christian.Kuehnke@Informatik.Uni-Oldenburg.DE|Tel.: +49 441 592 652 (private) > |Tel.: +49 441 798 2978 (work) > Feeding /dev/mouse to the cat(1). |Fax : +49 441 798 2980 (work) -- Edsel Adap OPCOM Consultant SUN Microsystems Developer Support Center edsel.adap@canada.sun.com Opinions expressed are my own and do not represent Sun Microsystems.
