Re: [gentoo-user] Gnome startup configuration
You might want to look at openbox. Really simple, highly configurable, and it will let you easily remove windowmanager decorations from windows with a simple right click on the window. Oh, did I mention it does a really good job with Xinerama. Metacity just really sucks when used with xinerama enabled. Sawfish did a better job but it was still not predictable enough. Openbox does exactly what I expect every time. Give 'er a try. Wazow wrote: Spider wrote: Well, hopefully that was enough info to get you going :) Indeed, thanks a lot for all these hints. I somehow had hard time finding all this info. It is easy to find the manuals for configuring system startup, but desktop services seem to be slightly less developed in this sense (HOWTOs, etc). I have one additional questions: what is your window manager of choice for gnome? I find it pretty annoying that metacity does not allow me to strip window decorations (or I do not know how).

Sawfish is cool this way; I was easily able to create a theme with 2-pixel yellow borders (only). The point is that I do not want to build my own theme. I remember this used to be much easier with old window-managers. The point is that you want to strip decorations only from some of the windows, by a simple move based on the name of the class in Xresources)... Andrzej -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Sawfish is cool this way; I was easily able to create a theme with 2-pixel yellow borders (only). Probably possible for Metacity too, but I don't know how, and it'd get tricky to use. -- Andrew Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
