but am I right, that twm is NOT used for iceWM to run?This suggests that twm isn't installed, or isn't installed properly. Try "rpm -V XFree86-twm" to check it; you should get no output.
what makes me doubt about this explanation is, that I already have created a ~/.xsession with content:X connection to ws008.ltsp:0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
I'm not sure where this error is coming from. It's telling you that the X server on workstation ws008.ltsp has shut down. It's most likely shutting down because the window manager isn't starting.
#!/bin/sh
xset s off &
/usr/bin/icewm &
and this file exists and has IMHO the correct permissions:
# ll /usr/bin/icewm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 585281 mai 17 2003 /usr/bin/icewmSo it seems as if my ~/.xinitrc is NOT used.
Examining /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/screen.d/startx shows me, that xinit is NOT used at all.
ok, thanks, this brings some light to me ...No, Red Hat seems to prefer Xsession. This script appears to be a superset of xinit, using different config files.
See above, I have some doubts on this explanation.No, I think the login is terminated because the window manager isn't starting.
ok, its thereLook at /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config. You will see this line: DisplayManager*session: /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
The easiest way to get icewm to come up one a RedHat box is to add the following files after you install icewm (they aren't included with icewm): /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/icewm /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.icewm
Here's what goes in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/icewm: #!/bin/bash exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession icewm
Here's what goes in /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.icewm: #!/bin/bash exec /usr/bin/icewm-session
hmh, I did the above, but first changed the directory gdm to xdm and later on I created the gdm directory and copied the file into it - finally I did not see any change to the situation before. From the file ~/.xsession-errors I get:
X connection to ws008.ltsp:0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
IceWM: using /home/u1/.icewm for private configuration files
Xlib: connection to "ws008.ltsp:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Doesnt this mean that iceWM is started correctly by xsession?
Thankfull for any furher hints, Ingo
