I'm not sure which one that is. Waimea is a varient of blackbox that has no toolbar and to shift to a new desktop you move your cursor to edge of window but the desktops can be vertical and horizontal. With ice it reminds me of kde1x for some reason and I'm still messing around with it before I form much opinion on it really. There are text based wm tho I forget the name of it. Evilwm is really barebones from what I can see tho actually not tried it just visited the website. I belive most give a right click menu and in some cases middle button menu. Afterstep and Windowmanager I think tho had just the square icons on the screen and it was somewhat weird manuvering around it. Enlightenment is diffrent and not sure quite how to describe that one. I suggest looking at the gentoo online package database list of window managers and visiting their official sites. There is one rather neat one there called "tree" but tho I find it neat I'm not enough of a power user to fully benifit from it. -- Susie VE7 HFA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://arienadean.tripod.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Life's unfair - but root password helps! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
