[gentoo-user] Gentoo and WindowMaker

[Brad Camroux]

Greetings,

I've been trying to get WindowMaker working on my Gentoo box, so far without success.
It's very difficult to find anything on Google et. al., too about getting things
working.  Today I managed to find the wmaker.inst program to install WindowMaker for
the current user, but when I try to login and load WindowMaker, it just goes back
to my kdm screen.  I've been using Fluxbox in the meantime, and really don't want to
just give up and go back to KDE.  I want to use a nice, lightweight window manager.

Does anyone have any ideas about configuring WindowMaker to work on Gentoo?  I know
lots of people have done it, but nobody seems to write a detailed account of how.

Thanks,

Brad

Brad, 
  You did use the windowmaker ebuild from portage right?  I know gdm,
which I use, lists session managment options like Fluxbox and KDE based
on the presence of startup scripts in some folder somewhere
in /etc/X11.  The ebuild should put them there, but I'm not sure,
especially for kdm, what that entails or whether it'll actually be done
in your case.  You might be able to set up a custom script in
~/.xession to start up windowmaker, if you can figure out how to do so
from the command line, and then select the "custom" option if the
windowmaker ebuild doesn't support adding itself to the kdm menu.  

				Regards and good luck,

Brad 

I just edited the .xinitrc file in my home directory, and use
xdm. 

cat .xinitrc
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/xbindkeys &
#/usr/bin/xterm &
/usr/bin/wmaker

It seems that your wmaker is crashing when you start it (goes
back to the login screen).

Do you use wmaker from portage? There are two important patches
incuded which dont come with wmaker from the original source.

[gentoo-user] Just Testing

Hi,

Recently, I cleared out some "gentoo-user" e-mail from Firefox and now
it seems that Thunderbird is automatically deleting any gentoo-user
e-mail when it arrives in my inbox.  The address is still in my personal
address book, but not in my collected address so, I'm not sure what is
going on.  Just sending this as a test.

Not sure if you're looking for a response but the mail made it to the list.

Just check that you didn't accidentally mark the relevent Emails as junk/spam, and as they come in, they get removed as if they are spam :/

Oddly enough, the two responses to my e-mail landed in my Inbox.  I
thought of what you are suggesting, Rod, and as a test, I changed some
Thunderbird settings - originally, I had set that messages I marked as
Junk were to be deleted.  However, thinking I may have inadvertently
marked a gentoo-user e-mail as junk, I changed the setting to move any
e-mail that I marked as Junk to the Junk folder.

The two responses to my e-mail did not land in my Junk folder so perhaps
the change in settings rectified things.

Colleen
