I have been using FVWM 2 (-devel version) for quite a while. Tvtwm is the "emergency" wm when/if fvwm upgrade goes berserk or has not been installed yet. The most interesting point is that windows are almost in the same place|state -- given same page layout -- whilst switching between the two. I think vtwm provides for more eye candy than tvtwm. I used Ion (pre-lua change) which did not disappoint; have not used current Ion version due to laziness about learning lua just to edit a configuration file. It seemed most helpful in managing gimp windows. Opera is the web browser I use (over Firefox) mainly due the ease of assiging|using key bindings similar to vi or mutt. Mutt (-devel version) is the mail reader in xterm (unless I am in hurry, then mutt works just fine on console too for fast reading). Some of my configuration files .. http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/cf/ http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/x/ - Parv -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
