WMaker

For the dozens of us (dozens!) who still prefer Window Maker's fast, efficient, and highly stable window manager, it is very easy to quickly install in crouton using x11.

Using WMaker in crouton

1. Create a chroot with X11:
   $ sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -r sid -t x11
2. Enter the chroot:
   $ sudo enter-chroot -n sid
3. Install wmaker:
   $ sudo apt-get install wmaker
4. Add exec wmaker to ~/.xinitrc:
   $ echo "exec wmaker" > ~/.xinitrc
5. Launch wmaker directly from the crosh shell:
   $ sudo enter-chroot xinit
6. Create an alias for starting in wmaker:
   add alias startwmaker='sudo enter-chroot -n sid xinit' to your /home/chronos/user/.bashrc (chromeos)

Helpful configurations

• start xterm automatically by adding it to .xinitrc. Try echo "xterm &" > ~/.xinitrc $$ echo "exect wmaker --no-clip"
• To get trackpad working install synaptic: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
• To change configurations easily without installing too many other packages try: WPrefs
