I call it "ax" (acronym for Avvia (italian word for starts) X). At first I wrote "ax" because I liked change WM/DE very often. I like lxde and openbox but I used gnome2 (in the past) and I use rarely kde and play with other WM/DE. Change .xinitrc is easy but not immediate and I developed several years ago a personal shell script. So when I want run lxde:
ax lxde when I want run openbox: ax openbox... and so on. Almost a year ago I rewrite this shell script to be suitable for distribution, I will be happy if it may be useful for someone: https://notabug.org/viverna/ax Execute: ax [your_favorite_wmde] for example: ax lxde ax kde ax without parameters run last WM/DE or the default. ax understands WM/DE reading $ETCPREFIX/etc/ax/client (for me $ETCPREFIX is /usr/local). "client" file has a very simple syntax: NAME_WMDE NAME_EXECUTABLE MULTIPLE_ARGS_EXECUTABLE for example: https://notabug.org/viverna/ax/src/master/etc/client usage: https://notabug.org/viverna/ax/src/master/USAGE.txt xinit args are the output of args.sh file in $ETCPREFIX/etc/ax/ I use everyday and works well but it is my personal case and it needs more tests. -- viverna _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
