Description of Problem: In addition to gnome and kde, I selected WindowMaker for installation. I was pleasantly surprised to see that WindowMaker was one of the gdm session options. However, selecting WindowMaker did nothing (where I made it the default or not). Neither did running wmaker.inst How Reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select WindowMaker session on the gdm panel 2. 3. Actual Results: sawmill/gnome brought up Expected Results: WindowMaker is the WM Additional Information:
WindowMaker installs a session that runs "/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession windowmaker", but Xsession doesn't know about any windowmaker option. So the windowmaker session file needs fixing. Or maybe windowmaker requires a newer xinitrc. I'm not sure we should have a windowmaker session however. Having both gnome and kde is bad enough without compounding the issue. You can always choose windowmaker from the window manager selector in gnome, then exit all gnome apps, then you have a windowmaker-only setup.
On second thought you only get the windowmaker session if you install windowmaker, so it's probably a nice touch. doesn't hurt anyone who didn't ask for windowmaker already.
Agree! I did not discover the WindowMaker option until I selected it for installation.
For completeness, I checked the enlightenment package and it NOT have the option for gdm session selection. While "fixing" /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession, you might add something for enlightenment too.
This defect is considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax.
fixed.
