Description Stefan Dirsch 2008-05-19 17:43:39 UTC

twm is now the default WM for a Minimal+X11 installation, altough with icwm a more comfortable WM is available. I think this change came with the switch from fvwm2 to icewm for installation. I think it is YaST, which writes the entry in

  /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager

The initial value is "kde". I think we should consider to use icewm as default
WM for the Minimal+X11 installation.

This is the default configuration for Minimal X11 desktop selected:

    "min_x" : $[
        "desktop" : "twm",
        "logon" : "xdm",
        "cursor" : "DMZ",
        "packages" : ["xorg-x11"],
        "order" : 6,
        // TRANSLATORS: Dialog label 
        "label" : _("Minimal X Window"),
        "patterns" : ["x11", "base"],
        "icon" : "yast-x11",
    ],

If the final system doesn't match the configuration mentioned above, please, attach YaST logs.

My testing machine with Min-X11 desktop selected shows this in y2log-1:

  * Default desktop: twm
  * Default logon manager: xdm
  * Default cursor theme: DMZ

And it is actually true, these settings match the current system.

Ok. So we switched from fvwm2 to twm by intention and my assumption was wrong that we wanted to switch to icewm instead. ==> INVALID
