- Information on Using Window Maker with GNOME
- --------------------------------------------
-
-
- Status of GNOME support
- -----------------------
-
-
- GNOME window manager protocols seem to be a work in progress.
- Things still change fairly frequently, so, the stuff implemented
- may not reflect the latest protocol. If something doesn't work,
- that's probably because the protocols have changed again and I still
- didn't have time to reimplement everything or noticed that it
- changed. If that happens, please tell me exactly what doesn't work.
-
- Other than that, the so called "GNOME Window Manager Compliance - How to
- write a GNOME compliant Window Manager" document, says this:
-
- "There are currently a set of other hints available that are, at the
- current time, not essential and therefore not documented here. It is,
- however envisaged that they will be finalized and added to this
- document, but for now are not needed."
-
- Since they are non-essential and undocumented they are not yet implemented.
-
-
- Implemented stuff:
-
- - GNOME window manager hints
- - Motif window manager hints
-
- On the works:
-
- - R6 style session management
-
-
- Compilation/Installation
- ------------------------
-
- To compile Window Maker with GNOME support, just configure it as:
- ./configure --enable-gnome
-
- before compiling.
-
- Also, do not disable mwm hints support (they are enabled by default).
-
-
- Configuration
- -------------
-
- In WPrefs, go to the last section and toggle the "Disable miniwindows" option.
