rpmfind.net, I can add that the fc1 RPMs work brilliantly on Sun Java Desktop 3
for Linux, too. Since someone said it worked on SuSE already, that wasn't hard
to guess, but just to add to the list.

it comes with running at the same time. So I brought up the Session prefs
manager and switched off metacity and nautilus, and left everything else going,
and it was fine. There's no support for the freedesktop signals for changing
desktop yet, it seems? Anyway, it worked.
no - we don't support most of them yet. we still dont properly support basic
ICCCM. we need to make this all work properly. (PS - you managed to stay at sun
without getting the chop! :):) good to hear after the recent axes falling in the
UK).
PS: desktop elements of gnome and kde will never be guaranteed to work. ie
panel, nautilus, pagers etc. e17 has a much more sophisticated outlook on
virtual desktops than the fd.o netwm standards - it actually displays 2 desktops
or more if in xinerama and so it cant really work with the pager as u would need
2 or 3 or 4 pagers in such a mode. we intend applications to work properly, but
we don't intend to do any work or compromise our own plans on design, usability
and features just to "meet a standard". you are still always welcome to use
metacity and gnomes panel and nautilus instead - but think of e17 and precluding
NOT JUST another wm but a set of other apps too. :)
