You've got a really good point. I, OTOH, keep returning to bb. WMaker is nifty, for sure, but WMaker is soo much more than a window manager.
How so? I installed it and I have to admit that it's fast and looks pretty slick.
1. Explicit Keygrabs prevent it from being ICCCM-Compliant (aka Hotkeys). This means that some UNIX implementations of X11 will not play nicely. 2. The Dock is too much. Too many functions. Window managers should manage windows, and that's all. 3. The Iconification of a window chews up valuable real-estate. 4. ImLib, though fast, is still considered bloat in my book ;) These are *only* my observations and resultant opinions. I don't *want* to start a flame war, I'm only reposting because somebody asked. # umount /dev/flamethrower # sync -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x107 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- 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/
