This one's really annoying: http://bugs.debian.org/118368 and I think this one bites me as well: http://bugs.debian.org/108903 There's probably about 100 bug reports in the BTS filed against wmaker, which is pretty poor for a relatively simplistic window manager. Looking at that second bug report, there's some brain-damaged coding going on. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bignachos.com
