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  .xses-
     sion file.

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

     --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 ses-
     sion 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  preferable
     to  give  "fvwm -f themes-rc" as the starting window manager command in the
     session manager.

COPYING
