| Re: [PLUG] two window managers |
Just to be sure I understand what you want, you want 2 users (non- simultaneously) to be able to have separate window managers on the same computer. This should be relatively simple. Just create separate .xinitrc files in each user's home directories. The last line of .xinitrc should be the command to start the window manager of their choice. For example, I've experimented with different window managers for the same user on the same computer. The last lines of .xinitrc would be something like: # startkde # startlxde # startjwm I simply uncommented the window manager I wanted to start. This caused some problems because they sometimes shared configuration files, but only because it was the same user. If you have separate users, this shouldn't be a problem.
