NAME

6       gnome-wm - Launches the user selected window manager for the GNOME ses‐
7       sion

SYNOPSIS

10       gnome-wm [--default-wm windowmanager] [--sm-client-id id]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The gnome-wm script invokes the user selected window manager.   If  the
14       user has not chosen a window manager it will try to launch a GNOME com‐
15       pliant window manager.
16
17       The user can overwrite the selection of a window manager by setting the
18       WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable.  If a --default-wm option is given
19       the script uses that window manager in case WINDOW_MANAGER is not  set.
20       If  gnome-wm  is  given  as the argument to --default-wm then it is the
21       same as if no default was given.
22
23       The script takes the --sm-client-id argument and translates the  id  to
24       an appropriate option depending on which window manager was selected.
25

ENVIRONMENT

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