The question 2.3 in WM FAQ method 1 doesnt work on Solaris 10 sparc and
the second method is not a good approach.

I am looking for a solution following Sun implementation of X systemns,
for example, WM should be an option to dtlogin so the users can use it.

I dont intent to run a SPARC box as a linux machine but use software
ported to to both systems. In Solaris, we dont use gdm for example, I am
interested in a document that explain how to integrate WindowMaker and
Solaris correctly.

yes, the magic flag points to /bin/sh assuming Linux world. We can have
the same 'bash' functionality with ksh and even more.

Please, for the records, can anyonew points the basics of integrated
WindowMaker and Solaris 10 ?
