Debian has a mechanism for dealing with applications that provide the
same functionality. We describe here how this mechanism works and how
you can use it to tune your installation.
If you have more than one variant of emacs installed (e.g., emacs19,
emacs20, and xemacs) then you can configure which one you get by
default with:
You will be asked to choose from a list of alternatives.
To specify which window manager to use as the system default:
$ wajig updatealts x-window-manager
|
Suppose the window-manager you want to use as the default is not
listed as available. You can install it with:
# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-window-manager \
x-window-manager /usr/bin/mywm PRIORITY
|
Where PRIORITY is a number higher than the highest existing
priority for the x-window-manager alternative. You can get a list of
priorities with:
# update-alternatives --display x-window-manager
|
To remove a Window Manager:
# update-alternatives --remove x-window-manager /usr/bin/mywm
