Re: FVWM: Fvwm & CDE

I have a Solaris 2.6 box with CDE. The only thing I use of it is the
login screen, since it gives me an option to use the good (?) old
openwin environment. When openwin starts, it checks if You have an
.xinitrc file and executes that to start the window manager and some
related stuff.

If .xinitrc doesn't exist in your homedir, openwin uses
/usr/dt/config/Xinitrc.ow (at least on my system), so it's probably
best to copy that to .xinitrc and modify it to use fvwm.

I also managed to use fvwm2 under CDE (not openwin), but then I can't
do anything for the first minute after the login. I assume that
someone waits for some signal from the window manager which fvwm2
doesn't send.

Hope this helps,
Rainer
