Hi all, Some friends are on charge of the study of migration in my University from Windows to Linux. They have a room with computers that are for the non-techie students (like biology, microbiology curriculum). They started using Ice on workstations and they serving StarOffice from another cmachine, because of the long time starting on workstations, everything else is (browsers, legacy D.O.S. apps) ran from the workstations. The icons on Icewm were configured using gdm (with an special option to show just icons, nothing more). I suggested them qvwm. We was probing it for a while, it was easy to config, and Icons come in a native way implemented on desktop, so it even take less to load that Ice + gdm. I really like this solution. The problem was that students when dont see a quick response lauching apps (like mozilla), pick the icons a lot of times and in the end the most consuming starting time apps were launched a lot of times (even 20).
Because of that my friends finally opted to WindowMaker, because when you click an icon, this can be only clicked once before the app is launched (in the meanwhile time the icon gets white). The problem is that WindowMaker offers a very high learning curve from non-techies students coming from Windows and people get missed. So well be nice to have a light weight Window managers and windows alike (Ice, qvwm), with proper feedback about launchig apps (WM). Anyone tried that?
