well, fvwm95 is basically the same as fvwm2, just a different look. If you want a really extentable one, gwm is the way to go (but I don't speak elisp, so I don't really know). Personally, I'd just stick with fvwm2 > One more thing: what's the "menu" package that some > persons are talking about? That's the package that tries to take away part of the need to learn the window-manager your're using (the part of making the menus). The menuentries will be added/removed when the packages that provide the apps are installed/removed. Wait till tonight/tomorrow, install menu-0.10 (menu-0.9 is OK too, but the README is old, and doens't have any man [1] pages) Unfortunatly, at the moment most debian window-managers don't support the menupackage directly, though. If you want support for your window manager, read /usr/doc/menu/examples/README, and copy the appropriate files to /etc/menu-methods/, to ge the menu-entries in your window manager (olvwm (debian rev 2) is the only wm that at the moment supports the menus directly; pdmenu (a text-based menu system) also supports it). menu-0.10 will be available on master's incomming, but if you don't have access to that, check ftp://rulcmc.leidenuniv.nl/debian/upload (that's where it will appear first, and be removed shortly after it's moved to the main distribution).
