http://unix.stackexchange.com – I'm looking for a way to bind for example the Ctrl+Alt+Ins key combination to a command line that would restart icewm (just to make it read the configuration files again and be aware of the edits). So what should go into that .icewm/keys file ? key "Alt+Ctrl+k" <tab> <...> ? (HowTos)

IceWM is a window and session manager that in a sense emulated old Windows look and feel. Its features are that it's light and simple to use.

improvement for 'restart' 3 years 22 weeks ago

icewm installation creates the menu entryExit TC/Restart Icewmwhich has got no function, as 'restart' isn't needed after changing the icewm menu.On the other hand something like 'restart' is needed in icewm after changing preferences, toolbar...

IceWM is a great window manager, fast, light and easy to understand. There are many apps to configure it, but i prefer to edit the configuration files. I abhor icons, wallpapers, and the constant use of the mouse (i also use Ratpoison).IceWM allows to configure many options so do not despair.

Anybody managed to bind the Windows key in IceWM ? It seems I can't bind it to anything since I disabled the "treat as Ctrl+Alt" option.

Re: icewm 3 years 22 weeks ago

I am going to revisit Icewm in the near future to update it's menu and try to work in On Demand features. Originally, a restart function was not really needed so I didn't put priority on it.  I will make a functioning restart when I update the menu.

[SOLVED] Python script. 40 weeks 4 days ago

Hello. I'm not a programmer, I'm just trying to make this work.

There's this pygtk2 app to use as a logout app for IceWM (or any other WM just by modifying the 'Logout' entry). I used to use it some time ago in Debian.

If I run 'python icewm-logout' it runs but just calling 'icewm-logout' gives:

Code: $ ./icewm-logout : No such file or directory What should be changed?

IceWM menu config location? 3 years 23 weeks ago

Using OpenSuSE 11.2 and IceWM, where is the menu config file located?

It is not in ~/.icewm and the /etc/icewm/menu file is not the same as that displayed with the "start" button. There is no other file named "menu" on the system.
