Description Krzysio (Chris) Leszczynski 2002-05-21 18:55:32 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513

Description of problem:
switchdesk 3.9.8 is incompatible with WindowMaker 0.80 (both in standard Red Hat
7.3 distribution.  "/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Window Maker" runs
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession wmaker but switchdesk rpm contains a file
/usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.windowmaker instead of 
/usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.wmaker

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install WindowMaker
2. Choose Session: Window Maker from gdm, 
3. Log in with your username and password
 Gnome is run instead of WindowMaker
	

Actual Results:  Gnome is run instead of WindowMaker

Expected Results:  WindowMaker should be run

Additional info:

An easy workaround is:
ln -s Xclients.windowmaker \
       /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.wmaker

I have just put it in my %post part, to save myself from patching
the switchdesk source. Of course it's better to patch switchdesk
sources _or_ WindowMaker sources, it's not clear which should be really
patched.
