Ok so I installed xfce4.
Made my shell script as follows:
#!/bin/bash
set -x
# Set up nested X server
Xephyr -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev -br -reset -host-cursor -screen
1280x720x24 -dpi 96 :2 &
sleep 3
export DISPLAY=:2.0
xfce4-session
Try adding an ampersand after xfce-session.
Can I
replace xsession by metacity?
Sure but metacity is only a minimal window-manager, no session, panel,
menu etc.
Try 'xfce' - if you're used to gnome it's got a similar 'feel'
and is
not too heavy to install.
Now I get the error:
./sh1
+ sleep 3
+ Xephyr -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev -br -reset -host-cursor -screen
1280x720x24 -dpi 96 :2
SELinux: Disabled on system, not enabling in X server
Kbd option key () of value ((null)) not assigned!
That is probably because of the -keybd options I used. I had to use this
specific line to get my keyboard and mouse working properly. man Xephyr
is very informative on these options.
** ERROR **: Another session manager is already
running
aborting...
I'm not a window manager (WM)/desktop environment (DE) expert, all I
know is that you can run into issues when using two DE's like Gnome and
Xfce in this kind of set-up.
