Description of problem:
After installing public beta 2 for Limbo, I cannot login to an X session using
Window Maker as the window manager.  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.

Additional info:

This is the .xsession-error file that is created.

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

(to be honest that file should be in switchdesk which is brosenkr's package)

Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2002-08-16 10:54:12 UTC
Ok, thanks Bryce - reassigning to bero

Comment 5 Phil Copeland 2002-08-16 16:18:50 UTC
Updated (-2) WindowMaker withdrawn after switchdesk was updated.

Summary: update to latest switchdesk in rawhide
