If the user has not chosen a window manager it will launch a +MATE compliant window manager. +.PP +The user can define his preferred window manager with the +\fB/desktop/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager\fP MateConf +key. The value of this key should be the name of the desktop file of the +desired window manager, without its \fB.desktop\fP extension. If this +key is set to \fImate-wm\fP, then \fImate-wm\fP will simply look for +an appropriate window manager. The user can also override the selection +of a window manager by setting the \fBWINDOW_MANAGER\fP environment +variable. +.PP +If the \fB--default-wm\fP option is used, \fImate-wm\fP will use +\fIWINDOWMANAGER\fP as window manager if the \fBWINDOW_MANAGER\fP +environment variable is not set and if the +\fB/desktop/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager\fP MateConf +key does not define a specific window manager, or if the configured +window manager cannot be found. +.PP +The \fB--sm-client-id\fP option is translated to an appropriate option +depending on which window manager will be started. +.SH OPTIONS +The following options are supported: +.TP +.I --default-wm=WINDOWMANAGER +Define the default window manager to start if no window manager is +configured, or if the configured window manager cannot be found. +.TP +.I --sm-client-id=ID +Specify the session management \fIID\fP when connecting to the session manager. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +\fImate-wm\fP uses the value of the \fBWINDOW_MANAGER\fP environment +variable to let the user override the configured window manager. +.SH BUGS +If you find bugs in the \fImate-wm\fP program, please report +these on https://bugzilla.gnome.org. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR mate-session(1) -- cgit v1.2.1
