FreeBSD 4
Carrying on from my previous post. I am now turning my attention to configuring the twm desktop [1]
twm is set as the default window manager in:-
/usr/local/etc/X11/xinit/ file : xinitrc
After finding some information on how to configure the twm desktop [2]. This document seems to be from around 1989.
I tried to find the configuration files in my local home directory structure on bsd but was unable to. However there is one
/usr/local/share/X11/twm/system.twmrc
Which, I think is more of a global configuration. Given the only two users are myself and root is fine.
I used this to add a second icon manager to the desktop.
I have also found some other documentation [3] which explains how add items to the menu.
So to add menu entry to menu for vulture-nethack
edit /usr/local/share/X11/twm/system.twmrc
“Nethack” f.exec “exec vulture-nethack &”
the & is important
If you need more help you may want to ask on IRC: * #freebsd which is hosted freenode. [4] I am on IRC as zleap but also frequent a few other channels.
