Can anyone reproduce the following Window Maker issue?
-----
WindowMaker issue:
Could not execute command: exec WPrefs
Reproducable on the following new full installs of 14RC1:
1. T60 laptop
2. VMware Wks 8 VM
Steps:
1. Launch WindowMaker
2. On blank part of the desktop, right click and select Configure Window Maker.
Result:
You should see an error window that says "Could not execute command: exec WPrefs"
It's as if the expectation is that WPrefs is in one of the paths.
Workaround for the current user:
1. Launch WPrefs from /usr/lib/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs
2. Select Applications Menu Definition
3. Click on Configure Widnow Maker
4. Enter full path in Program to Run field

if [ -z "$DESKTOP_SESSION" -a -x /usr/bin/ck-launch-session ]; then
eval $(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)
ck-launch-session /usr/bin/startfvwm2
else
dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/startfvwm2
fi
should be:
Code:
if [ -z "$DESKTOP_SESSION" -a -x /usr/bin/ck-launch-session ]; then
ck-launch-session /usr/bin/startfvwm2
else
/usr/bin/startfvwm2
fi
Can't reproduce that one. Works here.
Anything in your ~/.xsession-errors file to say why?
Nope, no .xsession-errors file on this end. Just .xsession and .xsession-backup . I do see a xauth: message saying .serverauth.3797 does not exist in my home directory.
Running Tail -100 against /var/log/Xorg.0.log isn't telling me much either (may need to increase the number of lines?)
