I think I understand this. I would have to do something like this:
mv ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep2
Then I write a shell script that looks like:
#/bin/sh
rm ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep
ln -s ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep2 ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep
/usr/local/bin/afterstep
Then I have to change my .xinitrc file to run this script instead of AS
directly.
Correct?
