I cannot imagine OpenBSD will give up it's special Xenocara. OpenBSD kept it's own specially patched Apache 1.39 for years to keep Apache within the base OS. The newer Apache 2 license was unacceptable for base OS requirements. I cannot confirm this, but rumor has it that Theo, the forker of OpenBSD from NetBSD uses FVWM, so I would bet that even though Wayland is being brought in, Xorg as Xenocara will be here to stay. I like FVWM because I can pretty much do whatever I want to take the time to think up and make it happen. I just can't do that with the other WM's I like. Also, it's lightweight, which is a must. -- Regards, Chris Bennett "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past." George Orwell - 1984
