Sorry is this question has been addressed in the past, but I am not a
regular reader of this news group.
I can't seem to get twm to cause xdm to end the session when a user
selects the f.quit menu item. Twm gets killed, but all of the windows
stay around until I kill the console window (an xterm -C). I suspect
that the problem is with my Xsession file which is a modified version
of the one presented in the man pages.
My configuation is as follows:
1) Xdm is brought up at boot time in /etc/rc.local.
2) My configuration file for xdm calls the following Xsession file:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# Xsession
#
# This is the program that is run as the client
# for the display manager. This example is
# quite friendly as it attempts to run a per-user
# .xsession file instead of forcing a particular
# session layout
#
case $# in
1)
case $1 in
failsafe)
exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0 -ls
;;
esac
esac
startup=$HOME/.xsession
resources=$HOME/.Xresources
if [ -f $startup ]; then
exec $startup
exec /bin/sh $startup
else
xrdb -load /usr/local/lib/x11/xdm/Xresources
if [ -f $resources ]; then
xrdb -merge $resources
fi
if [ -f $HOME/.twmrc* ]; then
twm &
else
twm -f /usr/local/lib/x11/twm/system.twmrc &
fi
# Turn off error checking for compatibility with R2 and R3
# (needed by Allegro CL)
xset bc &
# Put up a clock
xclock -geometry -0+0 &
# Put up an emacs
/usr/local/bin/emacs -geometry 80x60+0+95 &
# Put up a terminal
xterm -n "xterm@`hostname`" -geometry 80x24+500+0 -ls &
# Put up a console window (gets error messages sent to the console)
exec xterm -C -n "`hostname` console" -geometry 80x5+0+0 -sb -sl 100 -sk -ls
fi
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) I do not have either any of .xsessions, .Xresources, or .twmrc in
my home directory.
Thanks for your help,
Morry Katz
