Estoy intentando ejecutar mi administrador de ventanas de forma independiente en Debian 7 (es decir, sin Gnome 3, que está instalado actualmente). Aparentemente Gnome ya está ejecutando el mutteradministrador de ventanas:
$ wmctrl -m
Name: Mutter
Class: N/A
PID: N/A
Window manager's "showing the desktop" mode: N/A
Sin embargo, parece que no puedo encontrar el ejecutable de murmullo para ejecutarlo. No está en el $PATHy ninguno de los resultados locate mutterme parecen ejecutables: (tenga en cuenta que /usr/share/mutter/ambos /usr/lib/mutter/directorios se encuentran en el siguiente resultado)

Para ejecutar el administrador de ventanas, pensé que simplemente apagaría el Administrador de escritorio Gnome y luego ejecutaría X de .xinitrcesta manera:
$ /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
$ cat .xinitrc
#!/bin/bash
[[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
exec mutter
exec xterm -maximized
$ startx
¿Es esta la forma correcta de iniciar un xterm con el administrador de ventanas habilitado? Creo recordar haber leído en algún lugar que solo execse permite la entrada a uno .xinitrc, así que tal vez estoy intentando esto de manera incorrecta.
Respuesta1
exec mutterreemplaza el script por mutter, por lo que no se ejecuta nada debajo de esa línea. Si quieres ejecutar xtermantes mutter:
xterm -maximized &
exec mutter
Si quieres ejecutar mutterantes xterm:
mutter &
wm_pid=$!
xterm -maximized &
wait $wm_pid
Alternativamente, configure Mutter para que se ejecute xterm -maximizedcuando se inicie. No sé si esto es posible: Mutter está diseñado para no ser configurable.
En cuanto a encontrar el ejecutable de murmullo, ya está en la ruta de búsqueda (en /usr/bin). Si lo instaló a través del administrador de paquetes, no tiene nada que hacer.
