Thanks for the info. Could you explain a bit more about the Dock being too much? In your opinion, which functions are obsolete?
I mean exactly what I said; that a window manager should manage windows ;). An application requests windows (such as the KMail window that I'm working in right now), and a window manager should draw the windows. On the same level, a `dockapp' is nothing more than an application with tight standards concerning it's geometry (so many pixels wide, so many pixels tall); ergo the window manager should manage dockapps as well (as Slit does in bb). Anything more than drawing windows for an application or a dockapp is (or should be) handled by an external application. The WMaker clip is nearly worthless to me, since I can anchor any window to all workspaces.
Worthless to me too. WMakerConf is a nifty tool, but
requires too much real estate (72x72 pixels, configurable) ;).
Yeah, I run Wmaker at 48 x 48 but that breaks a bunch of the Wmaker apps like wmxmms as they are expecting 72 x 72. One of these days I was going to try to work on them so they work well in 48 x 48.
I (personally) don't like on-screen icons.
Neither do I. BB provides a mechanism in the
workspace list to see iconified applications. Since bb supports windowshade operation, I almost never use iconification anyway. BB also provides mechanisms for the appearance of window decoration (Styles), window placement, and front-to-back window behavior, all contained in the root window menu. One
Maybe I should revisit BB! Thanks, Greg -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
