justin,
So, becuase I hate rootless I decided I wanted to reinstall XDarwin
over Apple's X11, it actually worked very easily. Now I can either use
XDarwin and choose rooted or rootless or X11, seemingly without
conflicts. But this is where the question is, when I installed XDarwin
previously I seem to remember using .xinitrc to pick a window manager
and such but now it doesn't seems to use .xinitrc, where is the file
that it is using? If I have to create one will X11 see it and use it
also? I would prefer not if at all possible. I would like it so that
if I use XDarwin I can use one wm and X11 would stay with quartz-wm.
any ideas?
X11.app will use a ~/.xinitrc if you have one...if not, it will default
to quartz-wm and one xterm.
i have a similar problem in that sometimes i want to use Xdarwin (with
blackbox or afterstep), and sometimes X11 (with quartz-wm), so i have
put this at the bottom of my ~/.xinitrc to start the correct window
manager
----
xdar="`ps xo command | grep XDarwin.app | grep -v grep | wc -l`"
if [ $xdar -eq 1 ]; then
exec blackbox
else
exec quartz-wm
fi
---
(i'm sure there are better ways of telling whether XDarwin is running,
but...)
hey, Apple Developers!!! this would all be some much easier if you
implemented an option for non-rootless! that would be sooo great!
I tired digging through the source of X11 but I couldn't figure out
where you make it only rootless
quartz-wm uses quartz/aqua (whatever the name is)...running rooted
(non-rootless) quartz/aqua isn't running, so quartz-wm won't work (at
least it seems that way to me)
cheers,
russell
