- I found an even more elegant way around the HP 'vue' problem. If you put
- something like the following in your .vueprofile file:
-
- #!/bin/sh
- #
- # .vueprofile
- # I.Sheer <sheer@sscvx1>
- #
- xrdb -load .Xdefaults # load X window resources
- xinitcolormap # initialize color map
- xsetroot -solid blue # set color of root window
- xterm -C -icon -title "Console" & # start console xterm as icon
- xclock & # start clock
- xcal & # start calendar
- xload & # start load monitor
- xhpcalc -iconic & # start calculator as icon
- xterm -ls & # start login xterm
- mwm
- exit
- # end of script
-
- when it hits the exit you get logged off before vue is ever started.
-
- This is superior to setting the resource:
-
- vuesession*wmStartupCommand: /usr/bin/X11/mwm
-
- since the later forces you to terminate your session with a rather
- ungracefull <shift> <crtl> <reset>.
