Cwm is very good, but there are some bugs in that too. I notice that if you hide a window so the pointer falls onto the root window and then try to search for a window (alt+/ if i remember correctly), then the search menu is not displayed.To make it start working again one must move the mouse pointer over a window. > I hope someone will lead this issue to the people taking decisions about what > should be > in and what not, resulting in or updating or removing fvwm. Many people know and love fvwm. I think they may have something to say about removing it. > Pau Wrote > please, don't touch fvwm 2.2.5... it's just perfect... not in vain > it's the default wm in obsd... Don't touch iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! Is there anything up with newer versions then?

But no-where as minimal as anything in base. Icewm links imlib, which would mean importing GPL software into base (big no no). Also it would make base larger. I must admit I use a GPL licensed window manager (JWM), but it was my decision to install it from packages, so it is not a problem. -- Best Regards Edd --------------------------------------------------- http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
