我正在尝试在 Debian 7 上独立运行我的窗口管理器（即没有当前安装的 Gnome 3）。显然 Gnome 已经在运行mutter窗口管理器：
$ wmctrl -m
Name: Mutter
Class: N/A
PID: N/A
Window manager's "showing the desktop" mode: N/A
不过，我似乎找不到运行它的 mutter 可执行文件。它不在$PATH，并且对我来说，没有一个结果locate mutter看起来像可执行文件：（请注意，/usr/share/mutter/和/usr/lib/mutter/都是下面输出中的目录）

为了让窗口管理器运行，我的想法是关闭 Gnome 桌面管理器，然后运行 X，如下所示.xinitrc：
$ /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
$ cat .xinitrc
#!/bin/bash
[[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
exec mutter
exec xterm -maximized
$ startx
这是在启用窗口管理器的情况下启动 xterm 的正确方法吗？我想我记得在某个地方读过只exec允许一个人进入.xinitrc，所以也许我尝试的方式是错误的？
答案1
exec mutter将脚本替换为mutter，因此该行下面的任何内容都不会运行。如果你想xterm之前运行mutter：
xterm -maximized &
exec mutter
如果你想mutter之前运行xterm：
mutter &
wm_pid=$!
xterm -maximized &
wait $wm_pid
或者，将 mutter 配置为xterm -maximized在启动时运行。我不知道这是否可行——mutter 被设计为不可配置。
至于查找 mutter 可执行文件，/usr/bin如果您通过包管理器安装它，它已经在搜索路径中（在 中），您无需执行任何操作。
