Description Matthew Alexander LaChance 2011-05-30 15:11:53 UTC 
According to the SLiM page on the Gentoo wiki [1], window managers are supposed to create a file in /etc/X11/Sessions/ upon installation. I don't think it's a big deal, but the wiki page did say to "please file a bug," so here you are.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge musca
Actual Results:  
There is no /etc/X11/Sessions/musca

Expected Results:  
There should be a file called /etc/X11/Sessions/musca
Comment 1 Matthew Alexander LaChance 2011-05-30 16:16:26 UTC 
Sorry, I should have been more explicit. Here is the solution:

# echo "musca" > /etc/X11/Sessions/musca
# chmod +x /etc/X11/Sessions/musca

I guess you could put more there, but that's really up to you. This solution works.

Seems to be overkill for such a small window manager, but I'll give it a look.

Fixed in x11-wm/musca-0.9.24_p20100226-r1. Thank you for reporting.
