LinuxQuestions.org - gnome and xwmconfig

The only time i had the problem of gnome not showing up in xwmconfog was when i tried dropline. For some reason it didn't put i file in /etc/X11/xinit/
Pretty easy to fix though create the file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.gnome

in that file put this;

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $



userresources=$HOME/.Xresources

usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap

sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources

sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap



# merge in defaults and keymaps



if [ -f $sysresources ]; then

    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi



if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then

    xmodmap $sysmodmap

fi



if [ -f $userresources ]; then

    xrdb -merge $userresources

fi



if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then

    xmodmap $usermodmap

fi



# This nag screen isn't going to save anybody.

export NAUTILUS_OK_TO_RUN_AS_ROOT=1



# Start the window manager:

exec gnome-session

you'll have to be root. After you create and save the file make it executable chmod +x xinitrc.gnome

should be good to go after that.
