flwm Version 0.25
----------------------------------------------------------------
How to compile flwm:
----------------------------------------------------------------
You need fltk. If you do not have it yet, download it from
http://fltk.easysw.com, and compile and install it.
To customize flwm (for instance to turn on click-to-type), edit the
config.h file.
Type "./configure" (not necessary if you have gmake)
Type "make"
Become superuser and type "make install"
If you wish to edit the code, type "make depend"
----------------------------------------------------------------
How to run flwm:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Flwm should be run by X when it logs you in. This is done by putting
a call to flwm into the file ~/.xinitrc. With any luck you already
have this file. If not try copying /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.
Edit the file and try to remove any call to another window manager
(these are usually near the end).
Recommended contents of ~/.xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh
xsetroot -solid \#006060
xrdb .Xresources
# <xset, xmodmap, other configuration programs>
flwm &
WindowManager=$!
# <xterm, other automatically-launched programs>
wait $WindowManager
ALLOWING THE WINDOW MANAGER TO EXIT W/O LOGOUT:
That is the most user-friendly but it logs you out when flwm exits,
which means it logs out if flwm crashes (:-)) and you cannot switch
window managers. Another possibility is to run another program last
so flwm can exit, by putting lines like this at the end:
/usr/local/bin/flwm -x &
exec rxvt -geometry 80x11+8-8 -C -T "Ctrl-D_to_logout"
The -x tells flwm to put "exit" on the menu rather than "logout".
REDHAT USERS:
You may want to run the program "./flwm_wmconfig". This will read
RedHat's window manager menu configuration files and build an initial
.wmx directory so you have a large set of menu items that run
programs.
SGI IRIX:
You need to edit the file ~/.xsession instead of ~/.xinitrc.
SGI's version of XDM has a nice feature so that the window manager can
still have a logout command, but you are not logged out if it
crashes. This is done by running the programs "reaper" and
"endsession", as in this sample .xsession file:
#! /bin/sh
xsetroot -solid \#004040
xrdb .Xresources
reaper
flwm -x &
xwsh -console -t console -iconic &
Also create the file "~/.wmx/Logout" with these contents:
#! /bin/sh
endsession
The result will be that flwm has a menu itme "Logout" that logs you
out.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Usage:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Type "man flwm" for the manual page.

Acknoledgements

This program was inspired by and much code copied from the "wm2"
window manager by Chris Cannam <cannam@zands.demon.co.uk>
