below is not exactly answering ur question, but |
| 2 |
i am sharing it in case it helps. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
here is how i chose to live in order to minimize |
| 5 |
suffering, and i did not change this setup for |
| 6 |
several years: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
0. i login in text (no gui login). i think xdm |
| 9 |
is fundamentally a redundant concept that |
| 10 |
should not have existed as per occam's razor. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
1. i use i3, and start it by `startx`. i can |
| 13 |
auto-start startx upon login, but i like it |
| 14 |
better this way, as i may not always want gui |
| 15 |
stuff. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
2. for screen locking, i made an i3 binding that |
| 18 |
executes `i3lock` upon pressing `mod+del`. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
3. if i wanted to auto-lock, or auto-run a screen |
| 21 |
saver, i use things like `xautolock`. but i |
| 22 |
no longer do it, bcoz i don't feel i really |
| 23 |
need it (occam's razor) -- it's just that i |
| 24 |
happened to do it in the past. nowadays, i |
| 25 |
have evolved to just not forget locking the |
| 26 |
screen when leaving my desk. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
i know not exactly answering ur xdm-specific |
| 29 |
question, but i hope it offered u another |
| 30 |
perspective that might take u closer to ur nerd |
| 31 |
singularity. |
