- gnome-session for DEBIAN
- --------------------------
-
- Using startx/xinit
- ------------------
-
- To use the gnome-session manager with startx or xinit, you need to edit your
- .xinitrc file.
-
- The previous maintainers' .xinitrc file looked something like this:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- # This calls our default window-manager
- /usr/bin/x-window-manager&
- # You can replace the line above by seting a WINDOW_MANAGER environment
- # variable to set your preferred WM.
- export WINDOW_MANAGER=sawfish
- # This starts up GNOME
- exec /usr/bin/gnome-session
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Note: If you don't have gnome-session set up at the end of your
- .xinitrc where it does the "exec" (perhaps your window manager
- is there) - you won't be able to use the session manager to
- handle the logging out process (where it will save the state
- of all your apps).

- Splash Screen
- -------------
-
- Debian's gnome-session uses a Debian-related splash screen instead of
- the original GNOME splash screen by default. You can change the the
- splash screen that should be used using the following gconf key:
-
- /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image
-
- This means that you can set your personal splash screen by using
- gconf-editor to edit the value of that key or you can issue the following
- command:
-
- $ gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image \
- /usr/share/pixmaps/splash/gnome-splash.png
-
- The last argument is GNOME's default splash screen. You can choose any
- image, of course. To set the system wide default do:
-
- # gconftool-2 --direct \
- --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
- --type string --set /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image \
- /usr/share/pixmaps/splash/gnome-splash.png
