💖 miwm-session 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about miwm-session — the little starter script that gets your MIWM window manager up and running. it's giving first day of school energy, but for your desktop. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

miwm-session [option]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: MIWM does not ship with any menu by default to launch external programs. none. zero. nada. 😭 so this program's whole job is to start up one x-terminal-emulator(1) alongside the window manager by default. that's it, that's the gig. (peep the FILES section below for the deets 👀)

this program is designed to be used by GDM (etc) from /usr/share/xsessions/miwm.desktop, which means it does not exit until the Window Manager actually exists. like, it will wait for you. loyal. iconic. 💅

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -h, --help — shows you a lil brief description. a snack, not a meal. 🍓
  • -V, --version — spills the version info. slay.

🦋 ENVIRONMENT 🦋

None. literally nothing. empty. a clean girl aesthetic. ✨

🌈 FILES 🌈

  • $HOME/.miwm/session — if this file exists, it gets executed using /bin/sh after the window manager starts. also important: this file inhibits starting the default x-terminal-emulator(1). so like, you're taking the wheel, bestie. 🫶
