SliTaz becomes a bit pervers...

Not all users write Russian or US English.

For such cases, the old SliTaz, using JWM, did have the easy to use StartUp Command in the .jwmrc! You did have the possibility to invoque setxkbmap within .jwmrc and it was simple...

You did have the possibility to add more than only setxkbmap: functionalities!

What is the SliTaz solution to add starting up functionalities to the LX window manager?

The new SliTaz find the choice of old SliTaz bad and did substitute to JWM a complexe Window Manager environment without tools to set up all keyboards in use in the world!

It can not be right and is grotesque!

Coming back to JWM is not possible (because the old menu routine is not implemented).

Poor SliTaz really...

Christophe, please, is that really your old SliTaz?

Re: SliTaz becomes a bit pervers...

Hi oui!

Nice try, but... no. Sorry.

Looks like jwm is a poorly unpopular nowadays. I thoughts because of it's own solutions (at least in the SliTaz's last 2.2.0 version) that anybody else supported. Not XDG / Freedesktop, I mean.

If you love jwm, if you use jwm, and if you want to make jwm working better in the SliTaz -- you're welcomed to make your improvements! Please, tell us here on forum, or in the mailing list. Sorry, I not use jwm and know nothing about its problems.

For such cases, the old SliTaz, using JWM, did have the easy to use StartUp Command in the .jwmrc!

Sorry, but ~/.jwmrc used only by jwm. I not joke.

But standard exists: XDG Autostart Specification.

What is the SliTaz solution to add starting up functionalities to the LX window manager?

LXDE is standard-compliant, so please take a look onto link above.

substitute to JWM a complexe Window Manager environment

Ehm, what? o_O

When Openbox become complex Window Manager?

Sorry, are you not confusing it with another WMs?

environment without tools to set up all keyboards in use in the world!

Sorry?

LXDE in the SliTaz is shipped with LXPanel.

LXPanel is shipped with a bunch of applets you can add or remove from panel.

One of LXPanel's applets let you easy add keyboard layout indicator onto panel. And it let you easy configure all touching keyboard layouts: keyboard model, the list of your layouts both with variants, layout switch combination, and other options.

Coming back to JWM is not possible (because the old menu routine is not implemented).

I told you, if you want to make it better / make it working...

Poor SliTaz really...

Why? If not a secret.

Christophe, please, is that really your old SliTaz?

Excuse me, but new can't be old in any way.

New SliTaz (in your terms) can't be old SliTaz.

And here, in the SliTaz Roadmap, Christophe tell you something touching his vision of the new SliTaz:

Use XDG standards to auto start applications

[c]People    : pankso

Actually we start desktop applications via Openbox autostart.sh
script, but it's not portable and we need custom start scripts for
each WM. Using XDG standards will let us have some start applications
for all installed WM.

For LXDE I think we'll use LXSession and LXSession-edit. Razorqt is
standards compliant as well as XFCE. They will use files in

/etc/xdg/autostart and ~/.config/autostart

To make XDG work we also need to export some variables at session start,
and so to manage these vars and non compliant WM we should have a
slitaz-xdg script.[/c]

And how you like other item in the Roadmap?

[*]Play html5 videos in Midori/Firefox (feature or add-on package)

Definitely, this SliTaz is not old one ;-)
