Thanks. Now if only I could find the command for running X11 apps
from the Terminal.app.
For that to work, you need to have something in your bash profile or
other bash file to fire up the display server if it is not already,
as well as sourcing the right paths for fink. Then you simply launch
the desired application.
I think there is some advice on fink web site to do so, I'm not using
bash, so I cannot tell you what is the best way to achieve this,
sorry. Martin will help you better here.
I need to edit ~/.xinitrc back again with gedit to:
#!/bin/sh
. /sw/bin/init.sh
quartz-wm --only-proxy &
exec /sw/bin/gnome-session
What I do to switch easily between gnome environment and no gnome
environment is to have a ~/.xinitrc.gnome file which contents is the
one above.
Then when I want to use gnome environnement, I simply execute:
mv ~/.xinitrc.gnome ~/.xinitrc
Then I launch X11.app and it launches the gnome session.
When I want to use the normal environment, I simply execute:
mv ~/.xinitrc ~/.xinitrc.gnome
Then I launch X11.app and I get the normal environment, that is
without ~/.xinitrc, that is the system xinitrc which is launched.
I needed to use some GNOME apps so I recopied the ~/.xinitrc again.
Most of gnome apps can be launched outside of gnome-session, though
you may find that you loose some features (drag and drop for example).
If I later on decide to uninstall gnome-desktop and bundle-gnome
again,
If you have bundle-gnome installed, you don't need to specifically
uninstall gnome-desktop, as gnome-desktop is part of gnome-bundle. It
is sufficient to uninstall bundle-gnome. It will uninstall all apps
part of bundle-gnome, execute:
fink dumpinfo --field=depends bundle-gnome
to know which packages are installed by bundle-gnome
how do I do this without uninstalling something ny GNOME apps need?
If some gnome apps are not part of bundle-gnome there will not be
uninstalled. If they are they will be uninstalled, but then you can
reinstalled them with:
fink install whicheverappyouwanttoinstall
It will not compile it again, just install it, so that you don't
loose much time in reinstalling them
Cheers,
Michèle
