 Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2007 5:12 pm Post subject: gnome-session and fvwm-crystal [solved] |
 |
|
I managed to get fvwm-crystal to work with gnome-session. The only thing that doesn't work is at the only possibility to quit is with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. I I logout with fvwm-crystal menu, all the programs quit, but it get stuck with the wallpaper and nothing else.
What I done is at I ran gnome, changed the wm to fvwm-crystal in gnome-session-properties, removed the unneeded softwares as nautilus and gnome-panel. To start fvwm-crystal with gnome-session from gdm, it is just to start gnome. I also checked out the autosave feature in gnome-session-properties and added a menu with gnome-session-save. I will made a button for that later.

I also try to issue a "gnome-session-save --quit", but it doesn't changed anything.
Any clue?

Because quitting the window manager isn't killing the session manager by the looks of it.

Thank you for the answer Thomas.
I am looking at fvwm-crystal files. components/functions/Exit use fvwm Quit command. So I suppose at I must change it with something that test if gnome-session is running, if found, kill it, otherwise run Quit.

I modified the Exit function as follow:
| Code: | DestroyMenu /Exit
AddToMenu /Exit
Test (x xscreensaver) + '%22x22/fvwm-crystal/system-lock-screen.png%$[gt.Lock screen]' X xscreensaver-command -lock
+ '%22x22/fvwm-crystal/view-refresh.png%$[gt.Restart]' Restart
Test (EnvIsSet SESSION_MANAGER) + '%22x22/fvwm-crystal/system-log-out.png%$[gt.Logout]' QuitSession
Test (!EnvIsSet SESSION_MANAGER) + '%22x22/fvwm-crystal/system-log-out.png%$[gt.Logout]' Quit
|
It work well with QuitSession and gnome-session. I suppose at other session managers will also work.

I have a new problem. I am trying to make it to work with both gnome and fvwm-crystal without to have to do anything else as to choose the session in gdm.
I modify /etc/X11/Sessions/fvwm-crystal as: | Code: | #!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gnome-session --choose-session=Fvwm-Crystal |
and ~/.gnome2/session as: | Code: |

I try both with and without the files in ~/.gnome/wm-properties/ and get the same result.
It work well when starting gnome, but when starting fvwm-crystal, it start as expected, but the other applications doesn't start and gnome-session is killed or doesn't start. In ~/xsessions-errors, I get: | Code: | /etx/X11/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /use/bin/ssh-agent -- fvwm-crystal
(gdmflexiserver:8158): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_display_get_name: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed |

When running FVWM under a session manager, FVWM won't read StartFunction as usual, it instead looks for SessionInitFunction. Since that isn't defined in fvwm-crystal, it's no wonder certain applications aren't starting.
Note that you shouldn't start applications such as terminal emulators from it.

When starting fvwm-crystal as before with gnome in gdm, fvwm-crystal was not starting the programs specified in $[FVWM_USERDIR]/preferences/startup but the programs specified in ~/.gnome2/session was started.
From the first line of my xsession-errors, it look like gdm is not using my custom /etc/X11/Sessions/fvwm-crystal but launch directly fvwm-crystal with "/usr/bin/ssh-agent -- fvwm-crystal" instead. Edit: And the programs in $[FVWM_USERDIR]/preferences/startup are started but not the ones in ~/.gnome2/session
Edit2: What I want to do is to be able to choose between 2 gnome-sessions from gdm, that is without to get the gnome-session-properties that will ask for which session to run.
Edit3: I found it. gdm is using .desktop files in /usr/share/xsessions. It is a fvwm-crystal.desktop in it that come with fvwm-crystal. All taht is needed is to edit it as follow: | Code: | # /usr/share/xsessions/fvwm-crystal.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=FVWM-Crystal
Comment=Umm... Nice desktop. Transparent, and all...
#Exec=fvwm-crystal
Exec=gnome-session --choose-session=Fvwm-Crystal
Terminal=False
TryExec=fvwm-crystal
Type=Application
[Window Manager]
SessionManaged=true
|
Now, when I choose gnome in gdm, it launch gnome, and when I choose fvwm-crystal, it launch fvwm-crystal with gnome-session management.

I find a way to start it from the "scratch". Read at it must be possible to export that config into another computer. The problem is at /usr/share/gnome/session.default cannot deal with another wm as gnome.
What is needed are /etc/X11/Sessions/fvwm-crystal and /usr/share/xsessions/fvwm-crystal.desktop as above. ~/.gnome2/session become:
| Code: | [Fvwm-Crystal]
0,id=default0
0,Priority=0
0,RestartCommand=fvwm2 -f /usr/bin/../share/fvwm-crystal/fvwm/config -s 0
num_clients=1
[Default]
0,id=default0
0,Priority=0
0,RestartCommand=gnome-wm --default-wm gnome-wm --sm-client-id default0
1,id=default1
1,Priority=10
1,RestartCommand=gnome-panel --sm-client-id default0
2,id=default2
2,Priority=20
2,RestartCommand=nautilus --no-default-window --sm-client-id default1
num_clients=3
|
Fvwm-crystal was starting as usual. Gnome took a very long time to start and I was not able to close the session. But I have a very minimalistic gnome installation or maybe it was interfering with my existing ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 files, so I paste it anyway.
With the following session file:
| Code: | [Fvwm-Crystal]
0,id=default0
0,Priority=0
0,RestartCommand=fvwm2 -f /usr/bin/../share/fvwm-crystal/fvwm/config -s 0
num_clients=1
[Default]
0,id=default0
0,Priority=10
0,RestartCommand=gnome-panel --sm-client-id default0
1,id=default1
1,Priority=20
1,RestartCommand=nautilus --no-default-window --sm-client-id default1
num_clients=2
|
both wm was starting very fast and working as expected.
So, one of this file must work for you. If interested, just try it and report how it work.
If you already have a ~/.gnome2/session file, what you can do is just to past the missing part ([Fvwm-Crystal] I guess) into it.
After having started one of those 2 WMs and launched your favorites applications, all you have to do is to use "gnome-session-save" as usual, and your session will be saved. You can also launch "gnome-session-properties".
Into fvwm, a function as the following will save the config:
| Code: | DestroyFunc SaveDesktop
AddToFunc SaveDesktop
+ I Exec exec gnome-session-save --gui |
I call it from a FvwmButton with:
| Code: | # Session manager panel {{{1
All (FvwmButtons-SessionManager) Close
DestroyModuleConfig FvwmButtons-SessionManager: *
*FvwmButtons-SessionManager: Geometry +-1--1
*FvwmButtons-SessionManager: BoxSize smart
*FvwmButtons-SessionManager: ActiveColorset $[cs-panel-active]
*FvwmButtons-SessionManager: Colorset $[cs-panel-inactive]
*FvwmButtons-SessionManager: Rows 1
*FvwmButtons-SessionManager: Padding 1 1
*FvwmButtons-SessionManager: Frame 0
# SessionManager {{{2
*FvwmButtons-SessionManager: (1x1, Size 22 22, Icon "22x22/fvwm-crystal/gdm.png", \
Action (Mouse 1) SaveDesktop, \
Action (Mouse 2) Exec exec gnome-session-properties)
# 2}}}
Module FvwmButtons FvwmButtons-SessionManager
