I used twm/awm back in the eighties. I've been using enlightenment for years now though. I tried wmaker and sawfish but they lacked features from enlightenment that I discovered I really missed. If you've loved enlightenment and found an even better WM, please let me know. Here are some of those features: Sloppy focus. I *hate* click to type. I also hate it when setting the focus brings the window to the top, occluding the window that you're referencing. While you can set these things in Enlightenment, you can also *not* set them. Nice iconbox. My iconbox has a transparent background, does not have borders and grows and shrinks as necessary. It uses the application's icons. Virtual desktops. I have three virtual desktops. There is a little pager window that shows your windows in miniature which you can click to view or drag between desktops. Decorations. You can opt not to have any window decorations. Good for XMMS, xfaces, asclock, and transparent terminal windows. Explicit memory. Enlightenment can remember the applications size, location, decoration, stacking style (always on top, bottom, or normal). Opaque move and resize. Only way to really see the effects of your actions. Mouse gestures and keyboard shortcuts. Alt-tab menu. Alt-tab brings up a menu of the window titles and also brings the selected window to the top. The combination makes switching applications very fast. -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E. Vote Libertarian!
