OK, here's the problem with FVWM: After - spending the last few hours with an additional VT running an extra X session, - running FVWM, - reading about 10% of the nearly 8000 lines of 'man fvwm' - having a browse on the websites pointed to, - reading a little of the FAQ, - the READMEs and other docs in /usr/share/doc/fvwm, - search all 'apt-cache search fvwm' related packages - finally figuring out the root menu and running the basic config application (ugly motif-like appearance) - having bizzarre things happen with my primary (GNOME) session when going from metacity to fvwm back to metacity - having a brief play with FvwmCommand (and reading at least some of its man page) I have no idea how to make a nice session with pretty themed panels! Whereas in GNOME, I can click to MENU -> Applications -> Desktop Preferences -> Theme and play with different themes very easily, finding something appealing to my taste. Given current work deadlines I could barely afford the day (today) I've spent trying to get a terminal that remembers it's virtual desktop location, and isn't so slow it drives me bloody bonkers. So, I hereby give up. I shall simply log out of X and back in if the lagginess gets too annoying. That's more efficient than spending an unknown further amount of time trying to get one of the many alternative environments working to a basic satisfactory level. Thanks for the pointers though - and when I figure out how to scroll back through screens scrollback buffer, I might even use that more often. At least, it's useful to run stuff on remote hosts, so solved a real problem there... Exasperated Zen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
