Sad that it does not finish, and that the experimental port is not available anymore. http://www.mail-archive.com/po...@openbsd.org/msg20144.html I use xmonad too. > > * What other utilities do you find useful, any "dockapps" or similar > > applets? personal customizations? xfce-panel, uxterms, gajim, gmpc, mpd, mplayer, irssi, screen (I have to test tmux), midori or firefox, emacs or (original) vi, xcompmgr, unclutter. > > * Do you try to keep things uniform across other desktops?

I have some config file for some special apps on a server, as .emacs, .gtkrc-2.0, .screen, .Xdefaults, .xmonad. > > * What does your environment look like? anyone willing to post > > screenshots or actual workspace photos?
