You should really get into the habit of trying what you can on your own, especially once you've gotten pointers in the right direction. The answer to your question is probably "yes", but it wouldn't have taken you long to find out. I don't use WindowMaker. :-) > Why doesn't the docs anywhere say how to run Gnome like this? This isn't a Gnome-specific issue -- it's a basic shell process management issue, with a little X-related common sense thrown in. It's something you'll understand better once you've read the startx(1) and sh(1) manpages. You can get away with just the startx(1) manpage if you're already comfortable with shell scripts. > Do they really assume everyone is running RedHat and it's just a > matter of running LinuxConf? They probably take for granted that someone who's going to run their window manager either has things set up for him (as in the LinuxConf case) or reads the documentation for getting an X display server up and running (startx(1) or xdm(1) ). :-P Have fun!
