I really like this, but I think that the .xinitrc or .xsession
is run using sh, and I can't seem to get this construct the way you
wrote it. First thing is sh doesn't know how to expand the '~'.
(I know that on linux it is just a link to bash.)
So in my .xinitrc I have modified your version to put this:
while [-f $HOME/.wmpostrun]
do
mv -f $HOME/.wmpostrun $HOME/.wmpostrun.bak
/bin/sh $HOME/.wmpostrun.bak
done
I also set HOME higher up in the file just in case it was not set
before. I really like this idea. I also tried downloading and
compileing the xsession someone mentioned and it doesn't seem to be
working on my Sun workstation. It compiled fine and I placed the
app-defaults file and then also copied most of them to my .Xdefaults
where it was read before the xsession was run, and I didn't get
anything before the X restarted. I don't know if it had to do with
the version of X I am running or what.
