My .xinitrc
I've been tweaking my .xinitrc file for months, and part of it was posted above. Now I've got it at a point where I think the main future changes will be just adding more content rather than features (but then, who knows...), and thought i'd post what it looks like at present. You SHOULD NOT just toss it into $HOME and expect anything from it...the result of this would likely be breakage of several applications' configurations, and many error messages. I'm just posting it here as an example of what CAN be done. If you were to use this script, you should read it and thoroughly understand what it's doing. I won't be held responsible for killing your system =o)
| Code Sample | #!/bin/sh
# Seriously hacked .xinitrc file from DSL 2.1b
############################################################
# NOTES ABOUT CHANGES IN THIS SCRIPT #
# The "#!/bin/sh" is not needed...just added so #
# i could get proper syntax highlighting in Vim #
# #
# Some external files implemented (not in DSL base): #
# * Fluxbox themes and images in $HOME/.fluxbox. #
# * $HOME/.fluxbox/{init-dev,keys-dev} for Fluxbox devel. #
# * Irssi themes in $HOME/.irssi/themes. #
# * Xmms skins in $HOME/.xmms/Skins. #
# * IceWM themes in $HOME/.icewm/themes. #
# * $HOME/.xtheme (contains just the name of the theme). #
# * Various window managers installed or mounted in /opt. #
# * root-tail installed somewhere in $PATH. #
# * Symlinks to aterm named "terminal" & "mc-term". #
# * $HOME/.bashprompt, used by .bashrc. #
# * $HOME/.Xmodmap used to set keysyms for windows keys. #
# * $HOME/windowmanager.log used to save output from wm. #
# * Artwiz fonts (specifically "snap" and "lime"). #
# #
# Other things needed for proper behavior: #
# * Apps using the themes above have a generic symlink in #
# their configs. For example, the styleFile listed in #
# the Fluxbox init files is the symlink "mystyle". #
# * $HOME/.desktop contains only the name of the WM. #
# * chmod 644 /var/log/messages (bootlocal.sh). #
# * Start syslogd (boot parameter "syslog"). #
