Hi all,
This is probably obvious to many on the list, but it took a while
before I figured it out. Consider it a newbie tip.
I like the panel of KDE or Gnome, which hides away nicely at the bottom
of the screen while my Aqua Dock is on the left side and gives an easy
route to the XWindow apps. I've set up my system to launch only the
panel, not the entire KDE or Gnome environment, and find that it loads
faster and apps start up more quickly that way.
Here's a simple .xinitrc file for the home directory that will do the
job; just remove the # to uncomment the line you want (here, it's set
to launch the KDE panel alone):
======
PATH="$PATH:/sw/bin"
# Open a terminal window on startup
# xterm -font 9x15 &
# /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -sb -fa monaco -fs 14&
# Eterm --font 9x15 --scrollbar=0 &
# Gnome desktop
# gnome-session
# Control panel without full Gnome desktop
# panel &
# KDE desktop
# startkde
# KDE panel without full KDE desktop
kicker
source /sw/bin/init.sh /sw/bin/startkde /sw/var/log/kde.log 2>&1
# Locate the accelerated Apple X11 window manager
/usr/X11R6/bin/quartz-wm
===
I hope somebody else finds this useful.
