First off, a thank you to those who helped solve my last problem with libnet-pm. Your suggestions worked and I've now got it updated.
Now, onto the next problem :)
Currently I start KDE when using Apple's X11 by having the following lines
in my .xinitrc file. It works a treat:
export KDEWM=/sw/bin/kwin exec quartz-wm --only-proxy & exec /sw/bin/startkde
'Running "quartz-wm --only-proxy" lets you cut and paste between Aqua and X11, if I remember correctly.
I've also seen it done like this, which also works:
export KDEWM=/sw/bin/kwin /sw/bin/startkde >/tmp/kde.log 2>&1
'In this case, by not running quartz-wm, the full X11/Aqua integration isn't turned on. The second line looks different because this syntax directs the output from starting KDE to a log file.
Which is 'better' or is there a 'better' third way?
If you want to have a log file, you may want to combine the two--use your existing method, but call startkde with the redirection stuff from the second method.
As for Gnome, I've got it installed but I can't seem to find instructions on
how to find it (I admit I may be being old and blind), could anyone out
there give me a pointer or two?
It depends on the version: for GNOME 1.x, you can use
exec quartz-wm --only-proxy & exec gnome-session
For GNOME 2.x (relevant if you happen to be on OS 10.2.x or for the archives when it gets released for 10.3.x) you need to call a window manager:
exec quartz-wm --only-proxy & exec metacity & exec gnome-session
Thank you, William
