- How can I indicate which window manager I want to use (olwm/olvwm) from the
- command line? I didn't see anything in the openwin script file. Can I do
- it through an environment variable? If so, what is it called and what is
- the syntax for it? I'm running OpenWindows on a Sun/SS2 4.1.3.
-
- For now I renamed olwm to something else inside of /usr/openwin/bin and
- copied the olvwm to olwm in /usr/openwin/bin.
-
- Also, this is a FAQ I'm sure, but how to apply the patch for olvwm to bring
- it up to version 3.3 from version 3.0?
-
- Thanks in advance of course.
