gnome-wm – Launches the user selected window manager for the GNOME session

Synopsis

gnome-wm [–default-wm windowmanager] [–sm-client-id id]

Description

The gnome-wm script invokes the user selected window manager. If the user has not chosen a window manager it will launch a GNOME compliant window manager.

The user can overwrite the selection of a window manager by setting the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable. If a –default-wm option is given the script uses that window manager in case WINDOW_MANAGER is not set.

The script takes the –sm-client-id option and translates the id to an appropriate option depending on which window manager was selected.

Environment

The gnome-wm program uses the value of the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable to let the user override the configured window manager.
