MATE-WM(1) General Commands Manual MATE-WM(1) NAME mate-wm - Start the window manager configured by the user SYNOPSIS mate-wm [--default-wm=WINDOWMANAGER] [--sm-client-id=ID] DESCRIPTION The mate-wm program starts the window manager configured by the user. If the user has not chosen a window manager it will launch a MATE com- pliant window manager. USAGE The user can define his preferred window manager with the /org/mate/desktop/session/required-components/windowmanager dconf key. The value of this key should be the name of the desktop file of the de- sired window manager, without its .desktop extension. If this key is set to mate-wm, then mate-wm will simply look for an appropriate window manager. The user can also override the selection of a window manager by setting the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable. If the --default-wm option is used, mate-wm will use WINDOWMANAGER as window manager if the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable is not set and if the /org/mate/desktop/session/required-components/windowmanager dconf key does not define a specific window manager, or if the config- ured window manager cannot be found. The --sm-client-id option is translated to an appropriate option de- pending on which window manager will be started. OPTIONS The following options are supported: --default-wm=WINDOWMANAGER Define the default window manager to start if no window manager is configured, or if the configured window manager cannot be found. --sm-client-id=ID Specify the session management ID when connecting to the session manager. ENVIRONMENT mate-wm uses the value of the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable to let the user override the configured window manager.
