<h1 class="topictitle1">Configuring the iceWM window manager</h1>
<div><div class="section"><p>Configure the iceWM window manager (iceWM), as an optional step
during NAWT set up, when you want to interactively use the Virtual Network
Computing (VNC) server. For example, you may want to run a Java™ application
that features a graphical user interface (GUI).</p>
<p>iceWM is a small
but powerful window manager included in the iSeries™ Tools For Developers PRPQ.
For information about installing the PRPQ, see the following page:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href="nawtprpqinstall.htm">Install iSeries Tools for Developers PRPQ</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Running
in the background, iceWM controls the look and feel of windows running
within the X Window environment of the VNC server. iceWM provides an interface
and a set of features that are similar to many popular window managers.
The default behavior of the included vncserver_java script starts the VNC
server and runs iceWM.</p>
<p>Completing this step creates several configuration
files that iceWM requires. If you want, you can also disable iceWM.</p>
<p><strong>Configuring
iceWM</strong></p>
<p>To configure the iceWM window manager, complete the following
steps at an <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> command
prompt. Be sure to perform these steps under the profile that you use to
start the VNC server.</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Type the following command and press <strong>ENTER</strong> to start the
installation. : </span> <pre> STRPTL CLIENT(IGNORE)</pre>
<p>The IGNORE value functions as a placeholder that ensures the command
activates only the configuration features of STRPTL that NAWT requires.</p>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Type the following command and press <strong>ENTER</strong> to sign off:
</span> <pre> SIGNOFF</pre>
Signing off ensures
that any session-specific results of the STRPTL command do not affect subsequent
actions that you perform to use or configure NAWT.</li>
</ol>
<div class="section"><p><strong>Note: </strong>Run the STRPTL command only once for each profile
that starts a VNC server. NAWT does not require any of the available optional
arguments for the command. These statements override any setup instructions
for STRPTL associated with the 5799-PTL iSeries Tools For Developers PRPQ.</p>
<p><strong>Disabling
iceWM</strong></p>
<p>Starting the VNC server creates or modifies an existing script
file called xstartup_java that contains the command to run iceWM. The xstartup_java
script file resides in the following integrated file system directory:</p>
<pre> /home/<em>VNCprofile</em>/.vnc/</pre>
<p>where <em>VNCprofile</em> is the name of the profile that started the VNC server. </p>
<p>To
completely disable iceWM, use a text editor to either comment out or remove
the line in the script that starts iceWM. To comment out the line, insert
a pound sign character (#) at the beginning of the line. </p>
