I don't know about wmaker in particular, but in theory I guess the answer
is yes. There's a big gap between theory and practice though... ;-)

Hmm since wmaker 0.16 is gnome complient does that mean the gnome pager will
work with it? That'd be useful.

AnonCVS just came back up; give it a try. You may need to use a new server
name, like anoncvs.gnome.org. Do be nice to the server though, it's also
the Debian web server and some other stuff.

For compilation I recommend make -k. ;-)

Gnome will work with a non-compliant window manager, it's just that "Gnome
compliance" will eventually give you extra-cool features. Right now it
lets you use the buggy pager applet and some more minor things, so it's
not too exciting.

Hmmm...I feel like offering a reminder that two of the .20 tarballs will not
compile without surgery: in utils one must get rid of gdiskfree, and in admin
get rid of gxsnmp. At least that's been mine, and several other's experience.
I understand there's a fixed-up version of gxsmnp in the works, and that the
gdiskfree problem is known and may have been fixed in the cvs tree. The latter
however AFAIK, is still not open for anon download.

I too probably could benefit from reading up on the 'window-manager
compliance' issue. I seem to be runnng the panel here with AfterStep 1.4.5 (I
think that's the version ) with no problems other than the bugginess of
some of the Gnome applets.
