FVWM-THEMES-START(1)	    General Commands Manual	  FVWM-THEMES-START(1)

NAME
       fvwm-themes-start - FVWM	Themes starter

SYNOPSIS
       fvwm-themes-start  [  --session|-s  name	 ] [ --no-start|-n ] [ --fvwm-
       exe|-e ]	[ -- fvwm-args ]

DESCRIPTION
       This script runs	fvwm with FVWM Themes.	It should be run under X.  Put
       a call to this script as	the last line of your .Xclients,  .xinitrc  or
       .xsession file.

OPTIONS
       --session  name	-  name	 of  the FVWM Themes session. By default it is
       "main". This allows to have and run different  FVWM  Themes  configura-
       tion.

       --no-start  -  do  not start fvwm, just do preparation for starting it.
       This is useful to start FVWM Themes with	a session manager, see FAQ.

       --fvwm-exe - changes the	default	executable, which is fvwm or  whatever
       fvwm-config --fvwm-exe returns.

       -- everything after -- is passed	to FVWM.  See the fvwm(1) man page for
       the fvwm	options.

EXAMPLES
       Most users just should put:

	    fvwm-themes-start

       as  the	last  line of their .Xclients, .xinitrc	or .xsession file.  If
       you want	to use FVWM Themes with	a real session manager,	say GNOME, you
       need to use the --no-start option and put:

	    fvwm-themes-start --no-start
	    gnome-session

       as the last lines of your .Xclients, .xinitrc or	.xsession  file.   The
       session option allows to	use FVWM Themes	with different configurations.
       Say,  you  want	to  use	3 different configurations under a normal FVWM
       session when FOO	test is	false, under gnome-session and under a	normal
       FVWM  session when FOO test is true. Then, your .xinitrc/.xsession file
       may look	as follows (where $1 is	the "first" argument given by  startx,
       or by kdm or gdm	...):

	    ...
	    case $1 in
	      fvwm)
		if FOO;	Then
		  fvwm-themes-start --session special
		else
		  fvwm-themes-start
	      fi
	      ;;
	      gnome)
		fvwm-themes-start --session gnome --no-start
		gnome-session
	      ;;
	      ... other	cases ...
	    esac

       Note that with most session managers (e.g., GNOME or XSM) it is prefer-
       able to give "fvwm -f themes-rc"	as the starting	window manager command
       in the session manager.

COPYING
       The script is distributed by the	same terms as fvwm-themes itself.  See
       GNU General Public License for details.
