Execute o gerenciador de janelas do mutter autônomo

Question

Estou tentando rodar meu gerenciador de janelas independente no Debian 7 (ou seja, sem o Gnome 3, que está atualmente instalado). Aparentemente, o Gnome já está executando o gerenciador de janelas mutter :

$ wmctrl -m
Name: Mutter
Class: N/A
PID: N/A
Window manager's "showing the desktop" mode: N/A

Parece que não consigo encontrar o executável do mutter para executá-lo. Não está no $PATH e nenhum dos resultados de locate mutter parecem com executáveis para mim: (note que /usr/share/mutter/ e /usr/lib/mutter/ são ambos diretórios na saída abaixo)

Para fazer o gerenciador de janelas funcionar, eu desligaria o Gnome Desktop Manager e executaria o X de .xinitrc da seguinte forma:

$ /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
$ cat .xinitrc
#!/bin/bash
[[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
exec mutter
exec xterm -maximized
$ startx

Este é o caminho certo para iniciar um xterm com o gerenciador de janelas ativado? Eu acho que lembro de ter lido em algum lugar que apenas um exec é permitido em .xinitrc , então talvez eu esteja tentando o caminho errado?

    

Answer 1

exec mutter substitui o script por mutter , portanto, nada abaixo dessa linha é executado. Se você quiser executar xterm antes de mutter :

xterm -maximized &
exec mutter

Se você deseja executar mutter antes de xterm :

mutter &
wm_pid=$!
xterm -maximized &
wait $wm_pid

Como alternativa, configure o mutter para executar xterm -maximized quando ele for iniciado. Não sei se isso é possível - o mutter foi projetado para não ser configurável.

Quanto a encontrar o executável mutter, ele já está no caminho de busca (em /usr/bin ) se você o instalou através do gerenciador de pacotes, você não tem nada para fazer.
