Reply To: Split: antiX with XFCE – and alternative discussions

Grrr, just lost a whole post’s worth of text, and ended up “logged in” without doing anything! This is not the first time. Retyping . . .

antiX used to use .xinitrc when we only shipped with one window-manager – fluxbox. (That was many, many years ago). In fact at build time we create an .xinitrc for /etc/skel, but we remove it since it conflicts with our ‘desktop’ setup.

I think this is already supported (or has been in the past). There is code in the scripts to do exactly what I am suggesting. Here are my changes, briefly:

/etc/slimski.local.conf:

sessiontypes rox-fluxbox,zzz-fluxbox,minimal-fluxbox,fluxbox,rox-icewm,zzz-icewm,minimal-icewm,icewm,rox-jwm,zzz-jwm,minimal-jwm,jwm,fvwm,herbstluftwm,NONE

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/20×11-common_process-args:

      NONE)
        # User session was requested.
          STARTUP=""
        ;;
      default)
        # Default behavior was requested.
        ;;

thinking that the empty string will be picked up in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50×11-common_determine-startup and my .xsession executed (or sourced). This does not work, although I have an ~/.xsession file, and allow-user-xsession is in Xsession.options. Have I missed something?
