Terminator runs multiple GNOME terminals in the same window
Wed, 14 May 2008 15:00:00 GMT
In a sense, the desktop is the best thing that ever happened to the command line. Because a virtual terminal runs in a graphical environment, it boasts all sorts of enhancements that the unadorned shell lacks -- everything from multiple tabs to easy selection of display fonts and background and foreground colors. Perhaps the resulting power and convenience explains why, even at a time when the emphasis is on giving every application a graphical interface -- no matter how inappropriately -- people still write useful utilities for virtual terminals. A good example is Terminator, a program designed to perform one simple function: displaying multiple instances of the GNOME terminal within the same window.

gnome-wm - Launches the user selected window manager for the GNOME session

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-wm [--default-wm windowmanager] [--sm-client-id id]

DESCRIPTION

       The  gnome-wm  script  invokes the user selected window manager.  If the user has not chosen a window manager it will try to launch a GNOME
       compliant window manager.

       The user can overwrite the selection of a window manager by setting the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable.  If a --default-wm	option	is
       given  the script uses that window manager in case WINDOW_MANAGER is not set.  If gnome-wm is given as the argument to --default-wm then it
       is the same as if no default was given.

       The script takes the --sm-client-id argument and translates the id to an appropriate option depending on which window manager was selected.

ENVIRONMENT

       The gnome-wm program uses the value of the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable to let the user override the configured window manager.

PERSISTENT SETTINGS

       The program stores the current selection of a window manager in the gconf key /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default

SEE ALSO

       gnome-session(1),default.session(5)

BUGS

       If you find bugs in the gnome-wm program, please report these using bug-buddy or the gnome-bug script included  with  the  GNOME  libraries
       distribution.
