Bugzilla – Bug 1221320
IceWM given generic name in YAST2 patterns & during install
Last modified: 2024-04-29 15:54:04 UTC
Created attachment 873460 [details] YaST2 Patterns In YaST2 under Patterns it list many Window Managers then at the end of list it says : "A very basic desktop (previously part of x11 pattern)" This is actually IceWM. IceWM is given this same treatment during install, it is referred to as a 'basic desktop'. I actually had no idea opensuse had installed icewm and was just running commands from the terminal. It seems odd to not call IceWM by its name when millions of people have used it before and wont know what you are referring to by calling it only 'a very basic desktop'.
Thanks for the report. IceWM is just used as the fallback WM in many places whenever the others cannot be started. I think it's fair to rewrite/rename this to A very basic desktop (based on IceWM) The pattern used behind it is called patterns-base-x11 (which we should really not rename) Would that work already as solution? (All the things above are more Desktop Environments than Window Managers)
