Hi,

I thought using a line like this:
 (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "/usr/local/src/stumpwm")

I'm hijacking this thread about the Info on StumpWM to ask
something related to it, but where I'm completely newbie.

I read things about StumpWM with a lot of interest for some
time, now. I would like to give it a try, but I fear I would
miss windows and icons.

So, my question is: under Ubuntu, is it possible to have both
StumpWM *and* Gnome, and have a convenient way to switch between
both -- so I sometimes can learn with the StumpWM, and sometimes
(when I'm in a hurry) work efficiently with what I better know
(Gnome)?

Any hints on how to do this?

Best regards,
  Seb


Maybe the best way for you would be starting a 2nd Xserver.

startx /full/path/to/stumpwm -- :1

You need the apropriate rights to do this.
I don't know much about Ubuntu, so I can't tell wheather this
will work out of the box.
