You didn't mention the most mac-like window manager, Oroborosx. I have to agree with the previous poster that oroborosx is the most usable. It is more than simply a window manager - it actually attempts to integrate X Windows more closely with OSX than XDarwin does. For example you can minimize windows into the dock, along with a number of other useful commands in the menubar such as "zoom". http://oroborosx.sf.net/ You don't even have to configure dot files to use it. You just double click the Oroborosx icon rather than the XDarwin icon. -Ben ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
