The correct files are:
$ cat IceWM.desktop WindowMaker.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Ice WM
Exec=icewm-gnome
TryExec=icewm-gnome
[Window Manager]
SessionManaged=true
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Window Maker
Exec=WindowMaker-gnome
TryExec=WindowMaker-gnome
[Window Manager]
SessionManaged=false
ConfigExec=/usr/X11R6/bin/WPrefs
Note that the icewm entry also has to be changed.
It works. I also took the oportunity to look at E. Raster is sick. He
really needs professional treatment :-) I must admit, that it will
make any windows users jaw get wide open. Never saw that many gadgets
before. I think this is the one to show on any Linux presentation, but
how do you work with all the candy turned on? Does he have a 1 GHz
Proz with 2 GB of RAM and some ultrafast graphic card?
OK, most likely, he just wanted to show what is possible. translucent
windows, windows flying in on start etc. Looks cool :-)
I stay with fvwm2 though. For now. :-)
Ciao,
Martin
