14 gnome-wm - Launches the user selected window manager for the GNOME session
15 !!SYNOPSIS
16
17
18 __gnome-wm [[--default-wm windowmanager] [[--sm-client-id
19 id]__
20 !!DESCRIPTION
21
22
23 The ''gnome-wm'' script invokes the user selected window
24 manager. If the user has not chosen a window manager it will
25 try to launch a GNOME compliant window manager.
26
27
28 The user can overwrite the selection of a window manager by
29 setting the __WINDOW_MANAGER__ environment variable. If a
30 --default-wm option is given the script uses that window
31 manager in case __WINDOW_MANAGER__ is not set. If
32 gnome-wm is given as the argument to --default-wm then it is
33 the same as if no default was given.
34
35
36 The script takes the --sm-client-id argument and translates
37 the id to an appropriate option depending on which window
38 manager was selected.
39 !!ENVIRONMENT
40
41
42 The ''gnome-wm'' program uses the value of the
43 __WINDOW_MANAGER__ environment variable to let the user
44 override the configured window manager.
