FVWM-THEMES-START(1)   DragonFly General Commands Manual  FVWM-THEMES-START(1)


NAME

       fvwm-themes-start - FVWM Themes starter


SYNOPSIS

       fvwm-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
       configuration.

       --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
       preferable to give "fvwm -f themes-rc" as the starting window manager
       command in the session manager.
