drg,

I don't think that XDM actually allows a choice from the interface. Its pretty simple as far as display managers go. I saw some info for modifying an .xsession script at the freebsd forums. You might have a look.

but, of all things, I don't seem able to compile them. Follow the instructions, don't work for me.

Hello folks,
I apologize if this is already known, or my terminology is off, but I've been having a devil of a time with my local time setting after installing antix 11.0. I have 3 distros installed and after I visit 11.0 the time appears to be switched UTC time.
I have reset my hardware clock by editing in etc/default/rcS by changing UTC to equals no. I think this has fixed the situation.

I have also had my screensaver come on immediately after logging in. This has happened at least twice.

Dave,

Perhaps you could modify your script like this:

1. Launch a zenity dialog to ask how the wallpaper should be set.
2. Launch feh using an option from my previous post.
3. Set the wallpaper.

Both apps have good points. The problem is really setting the wallpaper when the pinboard is enabled since we need a helper app to the set the background for conky. The options offered on the iso and from Dave aren't bad. And here's one more:

1. Have separate menu entries for setting wallpaper - one for each desktop.
2. Each option will launch feh using one of my previously posted options and then set the wallpaper.

This is a difficult issue - one that I've thought about, too.

Here's a wonderful how-to on using gtkdialog

There are some interesting options further down: right-click menus and drag-n-drop. This page may give you some ideas.

thanks for the link, changed my script to ask where to apply the wallpaper, then open a chooser, when you open 1 file it is previewed in fullscreen, then it asks if you would like to apply it or not, ok applies, cancel opens the chooser again through a loop achieved by running one of the commands below.
wallpaper2.sh -ir or --icewm-rox ( choser for icewm running rox )
wallpaper2.sh -fr or --fluxbox-rox ( choser for fluxbox running rox )
wallpaper2.sh -i or --icewm ( choser for icewm)
wallpaper2.sh -f or --fluxbox ( choser for fluxbox)

These functions could also be used for menu entries as you were saying. I would like to use the thumbnail option of feh, but I do not know how to incorporate it. Yves is working on something similar to nitrogen though witch I think would be the best over all so I think I will leave it at this.
