Ah! Windowmaker, my favourite UI for many years and it was only the complete lack of development that induced me to switch to Debian's default (Gnome) when I moved from 32 bit to 64 bit hardware and had to do a new install for the first time since switching to Debian from RH. When Gnome3 came along and I found it unusable I tried out xfce and lxde and it was, I think, lxde that I liked best, partly because it had a windowmaker feel in having menus pop up with a left click on the desktop. When I used OS/2, before switching to Linux, I'd purchased an alternative desktop from somewhere (I just found the original licence - ObjectDesktop) and that gave lots of reconfigurability that wasn't in the basic Warp. I was quite surprised to get an email from the supplier a couple of years back asking if I wanted an update. -- John Lewis Debian & the GeneWeb genealogical data server -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
