Dan,
I work on Sun Solaris 2.6 machine with CDE sitting on it by default.. I
am using fvwm2.2
I did not know how to start fvwm from .xinitrc , so I read the CDE
documentation and put a line in my /$USER/.dt/sesions/home/dt.resources
file as follows -
dtsession*wmStartupCommand: /usr/local/bin/fvwm2
So whenever I login from CDE login screen fvwm2 is started instead of
dtwm. Can you please tell me what to do so that I can logout using the
Quit in fvwm ?
