I wouldn't worry about this. I have no problem at all with using the W95 logo key, sonce it gives me more keymapping possibilities. But if you really want to use alt instead, edit your ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker file and change all references to Meta with Alt and you will get what I think you expect. > 2.

This happenned to me even when egcs wasn't installed. I simply ran the second command (the gcc one) with c++ instead, ie. c++ -o wmmixer -O2 -fno-strength-reduce etc... and it compiled find. Another option would be to download the debian packages for these. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tower Visit my WindowMaker page at http://www.cs.mun.ca/~gstarkes/wmaker/ "You can twist perception, reality won't budge." -Neil Peart, Rush Windows 95/NT: 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
