[gentoo-user] Question on using selectwm
There are a bunch of apps I like to launch at startup many of thease will work in various window managers(wm dock apps... such as wmitime). But some wont like bbpager. I have openbox, xfce, and icewm installed. If I'm using selectwm to choose my window manager in .xinitrc is there some way that I can get it to load various progs when it starts a specific one? ie load bbpager for only openbox but all the other dock apps for the other 2 window managers? -- Susie VE7 HFA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://arienadean.tripod.com/ --- Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.

I would suggest writing a script for each wm that needs other apps started with it. For example, with openbox it might look something like this: #!/bin/sh bbpager exec `which openbox` Then just tell selectwm to start the script, instead of the window manager. -- Josh - Joshua J.
