You don't need to compile from source to use the newer fvwm. Just install
the fvwm
Hi Jan
I just tried the fvwm from my linux distro repos. It's pretty nice.
I could always compile the GPL version from source on OpenBSD, i will
give it a shot.
Thanks-Patrick

Thanks for bringing up an excellent point. I also need to figure out
what widget toolkit to use. I have used WXPython, GTK with about 6 or 7

Many bindings are nightmares and some like QT are so huge that it's like

Hi Bofh
Thanks for bringing this up.
I wrote off the idea of using a web based solution a long time ago.
However things have changed a lot since then. I could deploy the
application on a Raspberry PI or Olimex board and people could access it
from Windows machines via their internal network.

Thanks for mentioning this, if it ships with Open BSD then it's going to
be correct. It might just be a matter of making it a bit pretty.

Hi,
I am happy to see fellow-thinkers. GUIs are moving to a disaster.
Windows 2000 was usable, heck even Windows 7, once its features are
tuned, is a good and usable OS! But have you seen Windows 8? It is pure
crap for desktop use.
GNOME became a monstrum.. and Mac was nice... years ago. The la

That's true. Such window managers are user-controllable, unlike what
you typically find in Linux.
Have you considered HTML5 + CSS?
Seriously.

Actually spectrwm looks very cool. I really like ncurses based
interfaces but I need to display images too. I could see a hybrid
application fitting into this window manger.
