But setting the right size is not the problem when using fullscreen, it's the size of the programs that are started automagically. Anyway, for the moment I'll script around it, I simply switch between two GNUstep/Default directories by symlinking one of the two. For future googlers: The script called "~/scripts/x2go" that is called by x2go client through the option "custom desktop": # #!/bin/dash # if lockfile: exit test -f /tmp/wmaker.lock && exit 1 # set lock to prevent from running two sessions: touch /tmp/wmaker.lock cd ~/GNUstep/ rm -f Defaults ln -s Defaults.x2go/ Defaults cd exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/wmaker # The local version called "/usr/local/bin/xx": # #!/bin/dash # set lock to prevent from running two sessions: if test -f /tmp/wmaker.lock ; then echo "\n[ERROR] lockfile found: /tmp/wmaker.lock\n" exit 1 fi touch /tmp/wmaker.lock cd ~/GNUstep/ rm -f Defaults ln -s Defaults.local/ Defaults cd exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/wmaker # The lockfile is removed by the exit script: $ cat ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/exitscript #!/bin/dash test -f /tmp/wmaker.lock && rm -f /tmp/wmaker.lock R. -- richard lucassen http://contact.xaq.nl/ -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].

You can also try to use 'xrandr' to set the resolution. If wmaker was compiled with --enable-randr then the screen would be automatically updated for the new resolution. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
wmaker through x2go
Hello list, I have a systemdless workstation with a 1920x1440 monitor. I start wmaker from prompt: /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/wmaker No problem. I close using "save workspace state". So far, so good. When I start wmaker through an x2go session on a laptop with a smaller screen, I get a fullscreen (because I want to have fullscreen) but with the workspace state of the big one (many objects are too big) Is there a way to start wmaker with its own screenconfig? I know I can script to switch the GNUstep dir, but is there a more elegant way to handle this? R. -- richard lucassen http://contact.xaq.nl/ -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
