I treat window managers like themes or skins. Depending on the mood and need I run WindowMaker, Fluxbox, IceWM, Ion and (because of a recent thread) Ratpoison.
With mouse-centric WM's like WidowMaker, I can change WM's simply by pointing to the corresponding "Window Manager" menu entry. With keyboard-centric WM's like Ion and Ratpoison, I need to figure out the precise commands to map to the key bindings. I managed to find out Ion's "restart_other" option, but with Ratpoison I appear to be trapped. I need to log-out of my XSession before I can change WM. So, is there a shell command sequence which I can type into an xterm to replace Ratpoison with another WM, while keeping my other X clients still running? I need the equivalent of a re-startx. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
