dms version

dms v0.6.2-207-g33e655be

Description

dms-greeter does not load the compositor config passed with -C, for example:

dms-greeter --command mangowc -C /etc/greetd/mangowc.conf

This is caused by a breaking change in MangoWC v0.10.7, which removed the MANGOCONFIG environment variable. The current dms-greeter script still uses this deprecated mechanism, so MangoWC always launches with default settings.

MangoWC v0.10.7 now requires configs to be passed via:

mango -c /path/to/config.conf

Minimal Fix

Replace the old mangowc block in the dms-greeter script with:

mangowc)
    if [[ -n "$COMPOSITOR_CONFIG" ]]; then
        exec mango -c "$COMPOSITOR_CONFIG" \
                   -s "$QS_CMD && mmsg -d quit"
    else
        exec mango -s "$QS_CMD && mmsg -d quit"
    fi
    ;;

This restores correct config loading under MangoWC v0.10.7+.
