to get Fvwm working from login:
start CDE with the openwin option
edit the .xintirc file
so that it looks something like below. the important bits are the wm shell varable
and the setting of fvwm's process id ($wmpid)
fvwm should then run properly when you login again. when you exit fvwm then the seesion should exit smoothly also.
OW_WINDOW_MANAGER="$HOME/bin/fvwm -f $HOME/.fvwm/fvwmrc"
export OW_WINDOW_MANAGER
if [ "$OW_WINDOW_MANAGER" ]; then # Alternate Window Manager
xsetroot -def # Clear root window
$OW_WINDOW_MANAGER & wmpid=$! # Start Alt Window Manager
# dsdm & # OpenLook Drop Site Database
unset OW_WINDOW_MANAGER
else
sleep 15 & pid=$! # OpenLook Window Manager
olwm -syncpid $pid & wmpid=$!
wait $pid # Pause until olwm inits
fi
wait $wmpid # Wait for wm (key client) to exit
hope this helps and works for you
