Ignore the CWM web site. It is for a version of cwm that is far
different than that in the OpenBSD source tree. Anything you
read there is likely to lead to confusion.
Example: ~/.calmwm is a *directory* typically containing symbolic links
to applictions that will be run. ~/.cwmrc is a file.

Uhhh, in 4.2 release .cwmrc didn't exist. It was added somewhat
recently, I think after 4.3.
You are right!!!
quote from man pages:
the *cwmrc* file format first appeared in OpenBSD 4.4.
I think that is why I stop playing with it. I do run current only on one
machine.
You are right about CWM web-site. It is just confusing. My understanding
is that CWM
from the base at this point is really OpenBSD fork of CWM. Thanks for
info regarding Xinerama. I was not aware of it because according to CWM
web-site CWM doesn't support Xinerama.
Best,

I ran cwm on a dual headed system usinx Xinerama. No special support
was needed.
My desktop is now a Mac so I don't use cwm that often any more. It is
still my window manager of choice when on my older laptop.
