Hi Steve,
2009/1/28 steve <steve(a)lonetwin.net>:
I am sorry, I assumed that you were a long time Windowmaker user. Well, here
are some clearer instructions:
Thats alright, this is the best way to learn, tinker screw up and
troubleshoot. :)
I took on your hint and tried stuff in the autostart script.
1. Login in to WindowMaker and from a terminal window, execute
"docker &"
2. Now, drag the docker 'icon', close to the bottom of the WindowMaker dock
(that's the thing, the group of icons, that you'll probably see on the top
right). When you bring it close enough, the icon will attached itself to
the dock (that is what i meant by 'docking the app' in my previous post).
3. Now right click the docked icon and select 'Settings' from the menu.
4. In the settings dialog select 'Start when Window Maker is started' and,
if you want to, the 'Lock' option. Docker will now start automatically when
you login into WindowMaker.
5. Make sure you have NetworkManager service enabled and running:
$ chkconfig NetworkManager on
$ service NetworkManager restart
6. Launch the nm-applet:
$ nm-applet &
If this works, include "nm-applet &" in the
"GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart" file
Hopefully, that should do it. If not, let us know. If you have any questions
(including those about WindowMaker) feel free to ask.
That went perfect. Now I am online on wmaker.
I ran pidgin too. However it didn't go as smoothly. Most of the time
it didn't appear on the dock or even a window for that matter. I tried
running it from,
1. the 'Run' in the right click menu on the desktop,
2. from xterm.
However, it had worked the last time I had logged in. Kinda strange I guess.
Also, I am having trouble NM and Evolution remember the password, but
I guess that calls for another thread after some more extensive
searching.
Thanks for the help. :)
