Hi,

On Solaris CDE, the trick I use is to configure ~/.dtprofile to
run an XDM session instead of a DT session; that's cause around here
they do not have fvwm in the session options of the CDE login mennu
(yet :) ...

So, at the end of your ~/.dtprofile, place something like:

# ekxran - yes, please do source my .bash_profile <- .profile anyway!
DTSOURCEPROFILE=true
 
export SESSIONTYPE="xdm"
export SDT_ALT_SESSION="$HOME/.xsession"
export SDT_ALT_HELLO="/usr/openwin/bin/xsetroot -default &"


And setup your ~/.xsession something like:


screens=`xdpyinfo | grep screens | awk '{print $4}'`
if [ $screens -eq 2 ] ; then
    hostname=`uname -n`
    export DISPLAY=${hostname}:0.1
    fvwm2 -s -f $HOME/.fvwm2rc.0.1 &
    export DISPLAY=${hostname}:0.0
    fvwm2 -s -f $HOME/.fvwm2rc.0.0
else
    fvwm2
fi


HTH,
