AFAIK metacity is the WM favored by the Gnome project. I'm using it on
several stations and it is quite satisfactory except for a minor refresh
problem when switching workspaces. There are other Gnome compatible WM,
this one is a sober one that seems to focus on not getting in the way of

I was trying to install:
metal
sawmill
and discovered that they are mutually exclusive. metal wants gconf2 and
sawmill wants gconf.
Does this mean that sarge sawmill is gnome1? Any way to get both?

some things still require hand editing of a rc but that is minimal. bbconf

sawfish. it's small, doesn't have a "start menu" type thing, and I

it does pop up a menu when a certain key is pressed ("mouse-2"??) on

Which window manager will give me the ability to size/move/close/etc

Hi people,
I use fvwm... And I've heard of Sawfish, that I've read is very fast.
But,
which one is faster, fvwm or Sawfish? (with a ISA-16 bit video card with

capitalism I am!)
Thank you.

No, he means Sawfish. For you and the previous poster - Sawmill was
renamed to Sawfish due to some issues regarding the use of the name
Sawmill. It's all documented on the home page.

Actually the latest Enlightenment (using the default configuration) uses
about the same amount of resources as Window Maker.
Personally I'd reccomend Sawfish as well though.

First keep well away from Enlightenment. It uses a lot of resources on
absolutely nothing (e.i eye-candy).

I like mwm in lesstif, the libraries from which are

the lesstif package containing mwm doesn't see
icewm (ice window manager) is another good one - very simple and easy on

I've grown fond of scwm. Like sawmill, it's an extremely configurable
window manager, using guile (instead of sawmill's elisp-ish language)
as an extension/customization language.
