James, I am delighted to hear from you. I followed your advice and it works. I can see the attraction of using cwm this way. However it might just be a step too far for me as copy and paste seems not to work.
I have managed to get cwm sort of working. If I edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf so that the first section is: [Session] window_manager=cwm-lxde then indeed I do get cwm. However the key bindings (as documented in the man page) do not work. However I also notice that even under LXDE/openbox the xterm key bindings do not work. So I suspect it might be an LXDE issue. I'll try and follow up with the LXDE people. >> 5.)

On the other hand github is fine and I use it for some of my packages. If you really want to own the packaging then go for github or equivalent. If you're happy to let DD's step in and fix problems directly in the repository then go for collab-maint.

I am sure that the README.Debian should document this (and similar) experiments. Anyway the package seems to do what it says on the tin. So I think there is a good chance I should be able to upload your next build. Nicholas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
