Is this likely to be possible, i.e. how much window manager stuff does VBox 
require?  If not I can revert to using 2 window managers,  but I'd rather not 
if I can avoid the added complexity and limitations.  You can't move windows 
between screens if you are running 2 window managers.

Hi!

The window manager should have no effect on the X-application itself. i 
just tested VBox with twm by switching the window manager whilst working 
in the Mate-Desktop-Environment


pkill marco && twm

It works.

Thank you! That's great news. The reason I ran dtwm and twm side by side was 
Netscape wouldn't run properly on twm. Too many hooks into Motif.

I'd like to shift all my Internet access to a VM with the base system running 
OI on RAIDZ2.
