I start from console using xinitrc as I don't always need a WM/DE. I've
never used
qtile with a login manager, in fact, I can't remember the last time I ever
used a
login manager so I wasn't sure how other DMs handled it.
It looks like I could just add os.environ("XDG_CURRENT_SESSION") = "qtile"
in my
/usr/bin/qtile. I haven't tested this thoroughly, but in theory, it is what
I
imagine the login manager does to some extent. I'm not so much concerned
about
it since the plugin I am using is not my own and I could fork it to work
when
I do fresh installs.
Thank you for responding,
Ben
