Problem changing window manager
Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2011 2:00 am
Hi everyone
Great desktop environment! Thanks to all the contributers! I'm just facing a minor problem:
I'm having trouble setting the default window manager. Since I like to use the same DE on all my computers, I would like to use Lubuntu and Compiz on my faster one. I tried the following:
Changing Preferences> Desktop Session Settings> Advanced Options> Window Manager to
and then to
but that didn't do the trick.
I changed the first line in /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/desktop.conf and /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu-Netbook/desktop.conf to
(the one in the first file allready looked like that; because of the Desktop Settings, I suppose)
When I start up, still Openbox is loaded as WM. I did a kind of hacky workaround with a shell script. It works, but takes a little more time and is not really elegant. What did I miss/do wrong?
Let me know if you need any futher information or if this isn't the right place for questions about Lubuntu. Every answer is greatly appreciated.
