#
# logout button .xsession allowing fav window mgr by Jim Lynch
#
# This .xsession prepares for gnome by having something other than
# the window mgr be in the foreground, such as a logout button.
#
# As always, when the foreground process goes away, the session ends.
# This is true whether the fore is a wm, a logout-button or a session
# manager separate from the wm.
#
# This .xsession has logout-button be the foreground process. Pushing the
# logout button causes the logout button process to end, which implies
# the .xsession foreground process ends, which ends the session.
#
# This .xsession will also launch xearth and an xterm.
# Now find a window manager... we want one that's installed... run it...
# start by assuming that before we start looking, we haven't found anything
foundWM=false
# Favorite window manager
# set this to your favorite WM, or to nothing if you're willing to accept
# whatever comes
myWM=fvwm2
# try to find my favorite wm
if [ "$foundWM" = "false" ]
then
favWM=`grep -v "^#" /etc/X11/window-managers | sed 's/#.*//' | grep "$myWM" | head -1`
if [ -x "$favWM" ]
then
theWM=$favWM
foundWM=true
fi
fi
# try to find ANY wm (the first one found to be executable)
if [ "$foundWM" = "false" ]
then
if [ -e /etc/X11/window-managers ]
then
for i in `sed 's/#.*//' /etc/X11/window-managers`
do
if [ -x $i ]
then
theWM=$i
foundWM=true
break
fi
done
fi
fi
# still didn't find a wm?? OK, twm isn't the best, but we'll settle
if [ "$foundWM" = "false" ]
then
theWM=twm
foundWM=true
fi
# launch the selected or otherwise found window manager in the background.
# !!note!! the window manager is NOT the foreground process because it is
# NOT the session controller (as would have been the traditional case)

# exec gnome-session # maybe you'll try a different session mgr later :)
# end of .xsession
# Here's the original .xsession
# #!/bin/bash
#
# # NOTE: this part taken from the else part of the final "if"
# # in the global /etc/X11/Xsession by jim@laney.edu
# #
# # i.e., look at this code as the default session behavior and
# # modify to taste
