Any clues? I don't think event sounds are an option in icewm. I've never heard anyone mention it, and I've been using it for a long time on Libranet. (It's the default.) One thing I like is the 'restart' menu option which will go to another window manager. Here is part of my ~/.icewm/menu. I like the option of switching without logging out.

Re: icewm anyone
You can actually hop over to http://icesoundmanager.sourceforge.net/ and get some nice utilities. I would highly recommend going to the latest non-pre release, currently 1.2.13. It 'seems' to be much quicker than previous releases. This is really a solid WM IMHO, especially for those that don't need a lot of bloat to go with their wm.

Thanks to all who responded. I'll do a little more research: 1. I'm already on 2.3.16, so I don't know about previous speeds - it doesn't get any better than instantaneous g. 2. I'll check the gentoo ebuild to see what I need to do to get the sound module included. 3. I already have the command center software (gentoo calls it icewm-tools). 4. I'm not especially fond of bloat, and I don't need a desktop full of icons (otherwise I'd just boot Win98), so I'll probably stick with icewm for quite a while. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
