Wdm questions.

Hi all!

I using icewm with rox, and wdm for logging in.

Icewm and rox works perfect, but with wdm i have to problems, which i cant fix, so i asking you .

1) I fix wdm to not show xconsole at login, and then when login. I fix this with editing /etc/wdm/Xsetup_0, and now looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
# configs/Xsetup_0.  Generated from Xsetup_0.in by configure.
# $XConsortium: Xsetup_0,v 1.3 93/09/28 14:30:31 gildea Exp $
#/usr/bin/xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn
#fixed -exitOnFail
# /usr/X11R6/bin/xbanner
# if xbanner is used, change Xsession to do freetemp

But there is still on  CONSOLE 1 (ctrl alt F1) this:

arch login: geometry 530x240+-2147483648+-2147483648

and when i logout and login again this "geometry.." appers twice!

I wanna use wdm, or maybe xdm, if anyone have any goood theme!

2) Can i shutdown or reboot computer from wdm, without login in...i select reboot and then click go, but nothing happens, when i login, computer reboots!

Tnx for any help!

Re: Wdm questions.

I have a custom xdm theme. It has buttons to reboot/halt from within xdm. Let me know if you're interested.

You could also check out qingy in AUR or slim in community.

Re: Wdm questions.

http://www.astro.umontreal.ca/~belanger … tom.tar.gz
the files will be placed in /etc/X11/xdm/custom
To use it, change your xdm line in /etc/inittab:

x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon -config /etc/X11/xdm/custom/xdm-config

I assume you already have

id:5:initdefault:

The screenshot button use import from imagemagick you can change that  in /etc/X11/xdm/custom/buttons.

BTW, it's been a while since I used xdm (I currently use qingy) so I don't know if it works with xorg7. I guess it'll work but it might need some minor tweaks.

Thanks. I've corrected my post above.

Also, I believe the new XDM setting place is /usr/share/xdm.

Xdm still have its default settings in  /etc/X11/xdm. Maybe the background should go in /usr/share/xdm/pixmaps but it might be simpler/better to keep everything in the same directory.
