@Acid_RuleZz
Hmm, it's possible, but I don't use GDM/KDM so this might not be 100% accurate, but should work *in theory*

I'll use GDM and ScrotWM as examples;

first, confirm that you have the scrotwm.desktop (or just Scrotwm) entry in your usr/share/xsessions. If so, open it, and save it's contents to somewhere else (in case what I tell you here doesn't work and you need to revert)

Now replace its contents with this (you'll need root permissions, obviously):


You see the "/root/scrotwm.sh" script there? .... We're going to create that file now.

Go to your /root and create a file/document called scrotwm.sh and give it permission to run as an executable (either via teh Properties tab in your file manager or chmod in terminal)

Then, inside scrotwm.sh, add your startup apps like this example:


Replace those entries with whatever you use on your setup.
Please note that nm-applet might not work (since ScrotWM doesn't have a systray for you to run applets), but you can still try it. If not, you'll have to replace that line with the actual network manager command (which I do not know since I don't use network manager). the "feh" line is for your wallpaper, which means you should have feh installed (it's in your repos).
Important: make sure you refer back to your regular Gnome sessions for all teh stuff you want started and the exact lines they need, since here I'm just assuming the commands for you... I don't use gnome). I added the setxkbmap line to default to a US keyboard and the synclient line for your touchpad tap-to-click function, remove em if you don't need.

Let me know if it works.

Your main problem will be the network manager. I'm sorry that I can't help further with that. I don't really know it's syntax, and I prefer wicd-curses myself (mainly cos wicd launches during the boot process, so I don't need to add it to any of my session startups and can control it via terminal)

Hope this helps,

Cheers.

Edit:
Oh, btw .. you can't really use gnome-panel or docky in a tiling WM ... it's pointless, and docky needs compositing to work, which most tilers don't support by default. you can pipe conky output to the ScrotWM bar, however...

I actually included the "bar_ action = conky" in the .scrotwm.conf I sent you, Acid_RuleZz , but forgot to tell you how to configure conky to appear on it. I'll show you later after you've solved your current issues.

thanks. will try that when i get back home. will check on network manager too, see if it safe to uninstall it.

Linux Mint 10 is the latest offer by them, customised gnome de and based on maverick 10.10. Some reviews say that Linux Mint 10 more polished in term of everything compared to it's parent Ubuntu. Just around the corner they'll release LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) 32 and 64 after their successful 'trial' of first LMDE.

opensuse 11.3 Downloading their .iso is not a day job for 4.7gb in size, they are offering trillions of offline apps in a single DVD. To get restricted multimedia formats you have to add repos manually which can be easily obtained from their forum. Each releases would be every 9 month and the next 11.4 scheduled on March next year.

back track, good for penetration and security purpose, this distribution is a hit for decrypt the wpa/wep. Use it for educational purpose. But their forum is not for noobs asking without searching in within first, else you'll be scold. Typical, elite distro selalu itu macam.

oh,i see....ok,download now....

anyway,thx 4 ur feedback....

Download which 1 @@?

I wanna try OpenSuSe too

I'm planning to switch to Arch last month but I'm not sure how to install it in a partition instead of using the whole disk. Any ideas?

Be adventurous

The Arch Beginners Guide and ArchWiki are a good place to start.
Great resources. I don't use Arch as much as I used to (AUR is a joke, imho), but it's still a great distro for learning. Just don't think you've suddenly become a guru just because you installed Arch, cos anyone can do it by reading the guide.

Alternatively, you could try a minimal Fedora or Ubuntu install first, and then move to Arch or Debian Unstable, and finally move on to source based distros liek Gentoo or Sorcerer.... seems the more logical learning curve to me.

actually wanna try linux mint first...

but,if get wifi spot,maybe wanna download all....

Lol, I was. But I share my PC with my sister, she's gonna get mad if I wipe the whole disk. Haha.

use ext hdd....n ur prob solved....

hmm , might dl Mint too , Suse toooo big

Don't get me wrong but it looks cool. Lol.
