Removing Gnome

<< < (2/2)

voidmain:
I'm running blackbox right now...

Doogee:
ya ivegot iceWM (thanks to voidmain  :D ) but i dont use it at the moment cos i dont know how to run gtk apps in it, also i want to try out other window managers but im too newbiefied and need a hand to hold when setting up gdm, man it would rock if the session was auto added to the gdm menu.

Calum:
i know what you mean. there's a little tool to do it in the mandrake control center but i am not sure how well it works, and would like to know how to do it all myself anyway (and i think i must be using kdm or whatever the mandrake default logon manager is, so anything i find out won't be compatible i think with your setup).

IceWM i found, didn't have a run command anywhere! and that annoyed me. I found you can put one on the start menu using a tool called IceMe, you should always make sure that IceMe and IcePref are installed. You can use IceMe to add a shortcut to the run dialogue. I would have mine pointing to xfrun, but i shouldn't think it makes much difference, and i haven't tried it yet either, since i don't use icewm much.

Up to now, i tend to just open up a bunch of Eterms in desktop 4 in icewm, and use them as run boxes, relocating all the dialogues to other desktops as i open them.

i'll stop rambling now. back to the GNOME eradication society!  :D

creedon:
I DON'T like Gnome; I've always had trouble with it; the only reason I even have it on my box is he libraries; I'm with Calum; XFCE is the handiest desktop, and for me, the fastest; that bitch SCREAMS in Debian!!  :D
