I am a long time fvwm user since 1995. I am a computer programmer (among other things) and I find my custom fvwm2 config to be so much more productive than any other desktop environment.
However, I do need to use gnome panel and indicator applets inside fvwm, and this is where I have troubles.
I wanted to try to start gnome for the proper gnome panels, and then replace metacity with fvwm as the window manager.
Unfortunately, it does NOT work correctly and starting "fvwm2 -replace &" logs me out of my session.
The error message that I captured was:
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
localhost being added to access control list
[fvwm][ProcessICEMSGS]: <<ERROR>>
Connection to session manager lost
Is there some trick to starting (or switching to) fvwm2 inside a gnome session?
Thanks
