There is not much to it, I think. The menu system will not know about it, so you will have to manually configure the windowmanager. And do *not* use it under twm! The menus in OpenOffice is unusable with the mouse (you can use the arrow keys, but that is not fun). I have tried Icewm and KDE, the menus in OpenOffice works under both. -- Note that I use Debian version 3.0 Linux emac140 2.4.17 #1 sön feb 10 20:21:22 CET 2002 i686 unknown Hans Ekbrand
