Thanks, but the problem is some programs (such as Xemacs) already start too big to reach the bottom of the window; and since I try to minimize using the mouse, the whole thing of clicking to select and option, etc, seems and unnecessary waste of mouse clicks. And that still leaves open the issue of starting applications withouth mouse clicks (i.e., using only keyboard shortcuts); I guess it surely is possible with windowmaker, but haven't found how.

I use KDE, but intrigued by this thread, I tried windowmaker and was very pleasently surprised by the look and feel. However, there are two things that I use a lot in KDE and I could not figure out.
How do I start, with a simple keybord shortcut, the "Run" so that I can type the name of a program to run? (The equivalente of Alt + F2 in KDE). I find icons cluttering and cumbersome to use to start programs.
How do I resize windows? I could do it with the xterm window, but not with the windows of other programs (such as Xemacs, Kmail, etc). I like that the operation in KDE is a simple as clikcing on the border (or corner) of the window with left buttom pressed, and dragging to final size.
In Windowmaker, you can maximize and minimize the window by right-clicking on the title bar and selecting the option you want. If you just want to resize the window, then you can point and drag on the bar at the bottom of the window.
