Re: Proper Startup

Thanks for the feedback Gleef,

A couple of more questions/input that I didn't think off before:

Yup missed the hidden directory "."

1.03

I have one that appears OK. Should it have an entry to start the default IceWM. Can
I just change that to Window Maker or wmaker?

New question:

When I plan to create a new session file. Should I

1) First change .xinitrc to :
exec /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
2) Start wmaker in an xterm
3) Now run gnome-session?

Different order or???

Thanks for putting up with this nonsense.
