1 | I'm looking for a better way to manage multiple WMs. |
2 | |
3 | I launch X with startx. I also use multiple window managers. I'm primarily on xmonad because I love tiling WMs, but I also keep xfce around for whever I developing a GUI or letting my fiancee use my machine. My procedure for starting multiple managers is this: |
4 | |
5 | - log in |
6 | - startx |
7 | - login on tty2 |
8 | - edit .xinitrc (shown below) |
9 | - startx -- :1 |
10 | |
11 | .xinitrc goes from: |
12 | |
13 | > exec xmonad |
14 | > #exec startxfce4 |
15 | |
16 | to: |
17 | > #exec xmonad |
18 | > exec startxfce4 |
19 | |
20 | Then I can switch between tty7 and tty8 at will. Usually I don't start xfce at all, but for the times when I do, I'd be nice to do this without editing a file. Can I simplify this process? Is there anyone else who uses multiple WMs? How do you manage them? |
