Package: icewm-common
Version: 1.2.25-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/doc/icewm-common
In the documentation and FAQs there are several examples of starting
icewm as the last thing in one's .xsession file.
I found I needed to do
icewm-session& sleep 6
bla bla&
bla bla&
wait
in .xsession in order to get things like emacs correct font/window
size, uxterm -e su's prompt without race conditions, etc.
So you might want to make a note of it. (Actually tested with icewm,
probably the same for icewm-session.)
Also mention how the "exec icewm-session || exec xterm -fg red"
example will reach yyy when
$ cat eg
exec blabla || echo oooo
$ sh -x eg
+ exec blabla
eg: line 1: exec: blabla: not found
I.e., Say if .xsession is different than a normal shell script.
Also in /usr/share/doc/icewm-common/README.Debian.gz
Example .xinitrc file:
say if this is a sample .xinitrc / .xsession file, or also give a
sample .xsession file
#!/bin/sh #useful in .xsession?
add at least an xterm& here.
exec /usr/bin/icewm-session
P.S., the GNU address is no longer on Temple Place.
