But I'm not convince about how X11, gnome and kde works together. I've to develop a NetWS / Kiosk for a customer and need to work on this. Is anyone interested on that? My TODO List is now by that: - Plans for moving/merging X11 config form /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ to /etc/X11/ + seems to be most Linux/Unix trends + easier WS setup. - Plans to work and standard FreeBSD way to X11 + An implementation guide common to x11/gnome/kde (document -> article | handbook) + FreeBSD specific support for xinit/xdm config (~/.xinitrc ...) + rcNG support for x11 * /etc/rc.d/xdm. operative and valid for gdm/kdm/xdm * /etc/rc.d/xfs? we need a font server with libXFT trends? * /etc/rc.d/xserver. Xserver init for XDMCP (XTerminal) * /etc/rc.d/xinit. Special init via xinit. - Plans to work on a FreeBSD 'feeling'. Same fonts, ... + tweaks to apps-defaults, gnome and kde config. + common process of resources. Xresources , Xmodmap, ... - Plans to specific support for NetBooting. NetWS, XTerminals, Kiosk - Plans to specific support easy thenmeing 'a la FreeBSD'. Any sugestion on this is welcome. -- josemi -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
