Gnome to fvwm

Most Linux desktop users are using the Gnome Windows Manager these days. It’s ok, but I’ve decided to make the switch back to the fvwm windows manager. fvwm is the more configurable (although its quite a bit harder to set up). One of the things I missed about the Gnome desktop however was its main panel/taskbar. So, after much research I’ve figured out how to add it to the fvwm setup :

AddToFunc InitFunction
+ I Exec exec gnome-settings-daemon –sm-disable
+ I Exec exec gnome-panel –sm-disable
+ I Exec exec nm-applet
+ I Exec exec xv -root -rmode -maxpect -max -quit $[fvwm_wallpaper]

so, there you have it.
