Hey List, I'm trying to figure out how to put together a window manager package that will integrate with the new Gnome in Fedora 10. Somehow, all the window manager handling code in Gnome 2.24 got redone. I can't just remove metacity and add xmonad to a session anymore. As I can figure out, /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager is the right gconf key for changing the window manager, but modifying this caused no end of problems for xmonad. Instead, i've set up an ~/.xsession script, that could be made into a normal script that calls xmonad and then gnome-session. The problem is that Gnome doesn't know that xmonad is there, and doesn't know it doesn't actually need a window manager anymore, let alone metacity. Instead, i discovered that if i change /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list from [windowmanager,panel,filemanager] to [panel,filemanager] then everything works fine. The problem is, this key is shared between all window managers that want to load up a new session. I can't just create a gconf .schema that will add a new one for a new 'xmonad_session' instead of a 'default_session'. In short, the new gnome session configuration dialog is alot simpler and alot less confusing, but it gives us no simple way to give metacity the boot on a per session basis. How do i go about doing this via an RPM? -Yaakov -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
