Window Manager

If you are new to YDL and have some more or less basic questions.

Window Manager

Postby jbrown94305 » 03 Sep 2004, 06:02

It looks like the default window manager is /usr/bin/metacity. I am trying to change it to /usr/bin/sawfish but I can't find where the window manager is set.

Anyone have experience with this?

YDL 3.01 on an iBook2 12".

Thanks

Offhand, after a quick browse through /etc dir id say edit this file
/etc/X11/xinit/Xclients there should be a line like "prefered=" before some lines like if prefered=y then /usr/bin/y make sure theres an appropriete entry for sawfish and then on that first prefered line add sawfish

P.S. make a copy of Xclients before u edit it and if this doesnt override to the correct WM then restore it
Til our paths cross again
