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 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 session option allows to use FVWM Themes with different configura-
       tions.  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  com-
       mand in the session manager.
