WindowMaker

Running multiple instances of xterm

Go to the Attributes menu -> Application Specific and select "No application icon" for XTerm.

Then right-click on the docked appicon and select settings. Change the Application Path with arguments section to:

   /bin/sh -c "exec xterm &"

Or:

   /bin/sh -c "exec gnome-terminal &"

Note:

Avec WindowMaker 0.95.4, ça ne semble plus être nécessaire. Il suffit de lancer:

 uxterm

Pour faire capturer un script par le dock

Exemple avec script Kermit

   gnome-terminal --geometry=160x53+380+10 --disable-factory --profile=kermit --title="Kermit   /dev/ttyS0   115200" --name=kermitTerm -e "kermit ~/serial-115200.kermrc"

Exemple connection SSH

   gnome-terminal --disable-factory --name=ssh-hugovil -e "ssh hugo@hugovil.dyndns.org"

Gnome settings

Create the following file if it doesn't exist and change it's permissions:

 chmod 755 ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart

Content:

#!/bin/sh

gnome-settings-daemon

hvclock

Go to the Attributes menu -> Application Specific and select "Start Hidden".

Comment avoir un icone pour une application qu n'en n'a pas

Utile afin de pouvoir "docker" une application qui ne produit pas d'icône.

1. Right click on the title bar

2. Click Attributes

3. Select Advanced Options from the pull down menu

4. Select Emulate Application Icon

5. Click Save

Configuration du clavier

Sous Debian, les changements dans /etc/default/keyboard ne sont pas pris en compte dans WindowMaker:

IBus can also sometimes override settings from /etc/default/keyboard. The keyboard setup dialog in GNOME 3 will modify IBus's configuration directly, but for users of other X environments, you can use the ibus-setup command to modify the settings for IBus. To force it to defer to the settings from /etc/default/keyboard, run ibus-setup, go to the Advanced tab, and check Use system keyboard layout.

Comment redimensionner une fenêtre

David Reviejo <dreviejo@arrakis.es> best summed up this answer:

   Alt+Left click and drag
   to move the window.

   Alt+Right click and drag
   to resize (by moving the nearest window corner)

Another move/resize tip: while you are moving or resizing a window, you can change the move/resize mode by pressing the SHIFT key."

Commande pour éteindre (power off)

The ConsoleKit commands in slacklock should work. (Someone please verify this.) However, there is a simpler way: use systemctl. For example, systemctl poweroff issues an immediate power off. Systemd will check authorizations in much the same way ConsoleKit checks them on my system.
