Pardon me for jumping in here, but it's not often that I get a chance to offer
something useful from my own experience, to people who know more than I do,
about
my favorite DE/WM... And, stubbornly starting E from the command line is what I
do.
Anyway: If you want ~/.xinitrc to process "early" in the E17 startup via
command line... you can put enlightenment_start on the last line of the
~/.xinitrc
and use the "startx" command to call it.
My {simple} ~/.xinitrc {from my OpenSuSE12.2 installation} looks like
code
===================
# xdaliclock -12 -noseconds -builtin1 &
# What? no xdaliclock in the repos... {sigh}
xclock -d -twelve &
yakuake &
konsole &
synclient TouchpadOff=2
pulseaudio --start
/usr/bin/enlightenment_start
===================
I believe startx is part of the xinit package.
For startx to work, you need to make sure that there isn't a Display Manager
running. That's not so easy on Ubuntu based systems like (for example) Bodhi.
On which I found a way to bypass lxdm and use startx. But it cost me a
functional sound driver. Thus for the first time since kde4 chased me into the
beautiful arms of Enlightenment, I actually have one of my installed E17
environments regularly initialized by a DM...
So if by chance you know how to get sound in Bodhi without using a DM I'd love
to hear about it...
