I get gnome with metacity(?) instead. Also, there is an .xsession-error file created when logging in this way. It is listed below in the additional information section Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose Window Maker from the session list 2. Enter User name and password Actual Results: A gnome X session opens with metacity as the window manager and gnome. Expected Results: An X session to open with Window Maker as the window manager.

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then xrdb -merge "$userresources" fi # merge in keymaps The above are lines 36 through 40 from current Xsession in the xinitrc package. I don't see any bugs in the XFree86 side of things. Suggestions?
I chucked out a new version of WindowMaker last night (should be in rawhide) Seems dear ol' sawfish doesn't have a /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.windowmaker file. I lazily hacked up the spec file for windowmaker to create one [root@alpha root]# cat /usr/share/apps/switchdesk/Xclients.windowmaker It simply contains the single line exec /usr/bin/wmaker Seems to work. As for the original shell [ error's,... no idea Phil =--=
(to be honest that file should be in switchdesk which is brosenkr's package)
Ok, thanks Bryce - reassigning to bero
Updated (-2) WindowMaker withdrawn after switchdesk was updated. Summary: update to latest switchdesk in rawhide Closing
