I was using wmaker until maybe two years ago, but it seems to have fallen behind to the point it just doesn't play well with a lot of modern software anymore. Now I use fvwm, but frankly configuration is not for the impatient or the faint of heart. Openbox is nearly as powerful as fvwm, and is a lot easier to configure, though it's too late for me -- I'm now hopelessly addicted to the power and flexibility of fvwm. Then again I'm one of those weirdos who actually *enjoys* staying up all night reading man and info pages. :) There used to be a couple of preconfigured versions of fvwm, one called "95" (hideous win95- like config), and one called "crystal" (too bloaty and overwrought for me last I tried it). Not sure if those are even still around though... Openbox just uses an xml config file, so it's actually quite simple to configure once you find a good example or two. Could be better documented, but all settings are somewhat discoverable (the obconf gui doesn't even begin to cover what you can achieve). -- ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ Indulekha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
