Thank you! I have a version of fvwm already loaded under SuSE 8.2. I wonder if SuSE put the files in the same place that a person loading fvwm for the first time would have had them placed.
fvwm2 had lots of titlebar icons up till 7.3 SuSE people seem to have lost them somewhere in the 8.x revisions. Earlier than 7.x, SuSE's fvwm2 title bar had a "Create Configuration File" that worked. It failed, probably during 7.x. It works again in 8.2, but only puts a revised system.fvwm2rc into /etc/X11/fv2wm2. Nothing goes into the .fvwm directory in the home directory. I have been playing with renaming system.fvwm2rc in my home directory and/or in .fvwm so it gets used on bootup ... no luck yet. For an engineering workstation with dual screens, fvwm2 let me get SuSE 5.3 going when KDE wouldn't. It seemed more nimble than Gnome or KDE, even when running packages from either world. For someone who has NOT the slightest interest in making Linux mimic the Microsoft desktop, fvwm2 is a great desktop.. :-)

Is there a desktop, a little less loaded down with features than KDE or Gnome, but still reasonably useful? I am using SuSE 8.2 and find that both desktops are much slower than they were under 8.0, and suspect that with less stuff going on in the background, I can get a little more speed up front.
thanks for your time
