ps aef shows that I'm running fvwm95 and that it's under ~my_login_id/.xinitrc but this window manager is totally different - I can't re-size or even move the windows that I open, I don't have a color background, but a cross-hatch background, focus changes by cursor moving into a window and not by clicking on it, there's no bar at the bottom that shows iconified tasks, nor a bar above it for launching xterms, netscape, etc nor clock, nor system activity. > The first line is the > window manager that will be used.

My .xinitrc checks for executable fvwm-95-2, then fvwm95, then fvwm, then twm and executes the first it finds - hence fvwm95. I'm considering a move to wmaker, but I don't want to spend time learning a new environment (not that I really learned fvwm95-2; I just seemed intuitive). > > -- > Ed C. > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null -- ----------------------------------------- Ralph Winslow [EMAIL PROTECTED] The IQ of the group is that of the member whose IQ is lowest divided by the number of members.
