Out of curiosity has anyone ever thought about using fvwm in place of
a display manager? Have any developers thought about creating an fvwm
config that would act as a display manager, or implementing a display
manager that is fvwm driven?
Basically I just want a display manager that will allow either user
selection from a menu or a user name and password entry, but I dont'
want to have to rely on gnome or kde under-pinings. I was thinking
that I could probably just start up a stripped down window session
with fvwm and remove all of the default key-bindings. (Or maybe start
up a non-privelaged user account that doesn't have a shell entry and
have it present the menu...) I could then decorate it with all the
eye candy and functionality that gdm provides, but I'm not sure how to
go about replacing the currently running fvwm session with an fvwm
session running as a different user.
So I guess in all of my rambling my question isn't really fvwm
specific, but it does relate to fvwm. How do I create a new fvwm
session from a currently running fvwm session with different user
privelages?
