Configuring Window Maker

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi all,

I have just installed WindowMaker 0.80.2 (on Solaris) by following the 
instructions in INSTALL. Doing wmaker.inst in my home directory created 
a file .xinitrc with one line

exec wmaker

Logging in presents me a blue background with three gray squares in the 
top right corner (no image) and one gray square in the top left corner. 
Nothing more happens. I am able to start an xterm and then do

        openapp /opt/GNUstep/System/Applications/GWorkspace.app

I have a few basic questions that stop the show for me:

• I want GWorkspace.app to be started automatically when logging in. 
How do I do that? I tried to add "exec 
/opt/GNUstep/System/Applications/GWorkspace.app/GWorkspace" or "exec 
openapp /opt/GNUstep/System/Applications/GWorkspace.app" in .xinitrc, 
but this didn't do the trick.

• When I click on one of the squares in the top right corner, I get a 
panel telling me "Could not execute command 
/opt/GNUstep/System/Apps/WPrefs.app". This is correct. On my machine 
for whatever reason the path is /opt/GNUstep/Local/Apps/WPrefs.app. How 
and where can I fix this?

• Why do I see gray squares and no icons? What app or part o fthe 
system is supposed to do what the Dock is doing on MacOSX or was doing 
on OPENSTEP?

Thanks for getting me started!!!

Regards,

  Andreas
