Not that I know of. Some programs, like Gimp, make heavy use of the desktop metaphor. They're hard to use in ion or ratpoison (or at least I haven't figured out how to do it easily). What I do instead is start my X session with selectwm, using ratpoison as the default. If I need to use a wm that keeps the desktop metaphor, I can quickly exit ratpoison and switch to another wm without losing any of my windows. Once I'm done with that program, I exit the "desktop" wm, and go back to ratpoison. -- _ -o) Lance Simmons /\\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
