> Why can't he just hard-code jwm or its session into .xsessionrc ? [...] I tried that a few days ago, and got some ... umm ... "interesting" results. I just tried that again on a clean VM install (dropped a one-liner for ~/.xsessionrc) and at first it did indeed look better. However, after exiting from jwm immediately the (default) lxde session came up, and I had to in turn log out of that to return to the DM (lightdm or slim, either one). On second thought that's not surprising, so I added exit 0 to .xsessionrc, e viola: exiting from jwm dropped me back to the DM. *However*, I am not entirely convinced that method has no other drawbacks besides the obvious flaw that I now can no longer log into another session type by selecting it in the display manger. Clearly more hacking is needed here! And all that just to keep a deprecated, broken display manager. But, oh well! :P Anyway, thanks for the heads up! :) Regards Urban _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
