Motivation¶

Our new SLE12_SP3 image for RPi3 is using xdm together with icewm window manger.

I found that icewm is part of otherDE tests but it is not full WM test, see https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/601354

It would be nice if we can test icewm at least on x86_64 and check if it behaves correctly according to default icewm configuration.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: openSUSE and SLE tests covering icewm exercise more test steps from what we have on e.g. gnome
• AC2: All sub-tasks are resolved.

Tasks¶

We have in mind something like this:

• Basic desktop behavior (See subtask poo#32074):
  • check suse wallpaper
  • walk through "start" menu - try Help and wait for html help
  • change theme
  • check decorations of windows
  • execute xterm and then click on Show deskop icon - it should minimize all windows, if you click again the windows should appear again
• Check basic widget behavior (poo#32080):
  • check if clock "widget" is working correctly - click and xclock should appear
  • check if mail "widget" is working correctly - click and some email client should appear
  • check if system-monitor "widget" is working - click on first column and "netstat" or its equivalent like "ss" in SLE15 should appear, middle column (memory details) does nothing on click and by clicking on third column a "top" window should appear.
• Boot/Start (See subtask poo#32086:
  • logout and login again over xdm
  • shutdown and reboot

Further details¶

Keep in mind that icewm has a "desktop runner" equivalence, see https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/4415/files
