Re: [Fink-users] XDarwin question

As far as I know you can't do it 'on the fly'.  The best thing I can think
of is to use an environment that allows you to save the workspace
configuration.  WindowMaker lets you do this, and I'm pretty sure GNOME
will, too.

[Fink-users] XDarwin question

[Nicholas Robbins]

I recently moved over to the rootless server (Thanks
everyone for the help btw.) and I tried using rootless mode,
and I decided to go back to rooted. However what I would
*really* like is to be able to change rooted/rootless on the
fly. Is this at all feasible, or does something about how
XFree86/XDarwin works make this all but impossible?

If it is feasible, is any work being done on it?

Nope, it won't be incorporated into Fink. It's a seperate MacOS X 
app, and is distributed in a conveniant way already. Fink targets 
packaging Unix apps, and is not meant as a general purpose OS X app 
packaging system.

It's easy enough, though, to use it alongside Fink.

Any plan on integrating OroborusOSX into fink?

This is a problem with the default window manger (twm) that comes with
Xdarwin.  You'll need to install a different window manager and set your
system up to run it.  Check out

http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/index.php

for more information.  'fink list | grep anager' will give you a list of
window managers you can install (as well as some other tools with the name
manager in the description--you want packages that say 'window manager').

Another good option for a window manager is OroborOSX.  It basically works
like a standard double-clickable Mac application, runs rootless so that you
have easy access to other applications, and also has controls in the Mac
menu bar.  Check out http://wrench.et.ic.ac.uk:80/adrian/software/oroborosx/
