I know. I want to use the indigo one. Looking at .xinitrc, I'd say there's a
separate program that provides the
background--swmbg. It's not evident how and where to include that part of
starting the wm in the goXvesa example Steven
provided. My experiments with it have thus far been unsuccessful. It's worth
mentioning that goXvesa needs to be made
executable. I kind of suspected that it did, but since Steven said nothing
about that, I didn't initially make it
executable. Of course Xvesa wouldn't start when I rebooted. So I've fixed
that.
