SYNOPSISfvwm-themes-start [ --session|-s name ] [ --no-start|-n ] [ --fvwm-
exe|-e ] [ -- fvwm-args ]
DESCRIPTION
This script runs fvwm with FVWM Themes. It should be run under X. Put
a call to this script as the last line of your .Xclients, .xinitrc or
.xsession file.
OPTIONS--session name - name of the FVWM Themes session. By default it is
"main". This allows to have and run different FVWM Themes configura‐
tion.
--no-start - do not start fvwm, just do preparation for starting it.
This is useful to start FVWM Themes with a session manager, see FAQ.
--fvwm-exe - changes the default executable, which is fvwm or whatever
fvwm-config --fvwm-exe returns.
-- everything after -- is passed to FVWM. See the fvwm(1) man page for
the fvwm options.
EXAMPLES
Most users just should put:
fvwm-themes-start
as the last line of their .Xclients, .xinitrc or .xsession file. If
you want to use FVWM Themes with a real session manager, say GNOME, you
need to use the --no-start option and put:
fvwm-themes-start--no-start
gnome-session
as the last lines of your .Xclients, .xinitrc or .xsession file. The
session option allows to use FVWM Themes with different configurations.
Say, you want to use 3 different configurations under a normal FVWM
session when FOO test is false, under gnome-session and under a normal
FVWM session when FOO test is true. Then, your .xinitrc/.xsession file
may look as follows (where $1 is the "first" argument given by startx,
or by kdm or gdm ...):
...
case $1 in
fvwm)
if FOO; Then
fvwm-themes-start--session special
else
fvwm-themes-start
fi
;;
gnome)
fvwm-themes-start--session gnome --no-start
gnome-session
;;
... other cases ...
esac
Note that with most session managers (e.g., GNOME or XSM) it is prefer‐
able to give "fvwm -f themes-rc" as the starting window manager command
in the session manager.
