MATE-WM(1)							    MATE-WM(1)

NAME
       mate-wm - Start the window manager configured by the user

SYNOPSIS
       mate-wm [--default-wm=WINDOWMANAGER] [--sm-client-id=ID]

DESCRIPTION
       The  mate-wm  program starts the window manager configured by the user.
       If the user has not chosen a window manager it will launch a MATE  com‐
       pliant window manager.

       The  user  can  define  his  preferred  window  manager with the /desk‐
       top/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager  MateConf  key.  The
       value of this key should be the name of the desktop file of the desired
       window manager, without its .desktop extension. If this key is  set  to
       mate-wm,	 then  mate-wm will simply look for an appropriate window man‐
       ager. The user can also override the selection of a window  manager  by
       setting the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable.

       If  the	--default-wm option is used, mate-wm will use WINDOWMANAGER as
       window manager if the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable  is  not  set
       and   if	  the  /desktop/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager
       MateConf key does not define a specific window manager, or if the  con‐
       figured window manager cannot be found.

       The  --sm-client-id  option  is	translated  to	an  appropriate option
       depending on which window manager will be started.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       --default-wm=WINDOWMANAGER
	      Define the default window manager to start if no window  manager
	      is  configured,  or  if  the configured window manager cannot be
	      found.

       --sm-client-id=ID
	      Specify the session management ID when connecting to the session
	      manager.

ENVIRONMENT
       mate-wm	uses  the  value of the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable to
       let the user override the configured window manager.

BUGS
       If you find bugs	 in  the  mate-wm  program,  please  report  these  on
       https://bugzilla.gnome.org.
