Get a *real* Windowmanager... like KDE (if you're a newbie), Enlightenment (for fun) or WindowMaker (for productivity)
Why is that fvwm2 still with Linux ? It's ugly, it's nasty to configure, it's buggy (yep... or am I the only one whose mouse sometimes isn't able to pop any menues any more)... Even AfterStep is a lot better and more stable... (although you can delete it from your HD too, now... if you want some NeXT, try WindowMaker)
I like fvwm2 because it is fast and stable. I have a lower end machine, which means that Enlightenment runs terrible (I'm not for eye candy anyway), and I thought KDE was too much like Win95. I have used and like WindowMaker, it is fast and stable, but, when you have to edit the config files manually, it is much, much worse then fvwm2. And the bug you have with the mouse not popping menus is not a fvwm2 bug as much as a (gasp) SuSEwm bug. I wrote a fvwm2rc file from scratch (yes, painful) and combined it with some of the things I liked from the fvwm2rc that SuSEwm spit out, and *presto* problem solved. I'll send it to anyone if you are interested . . . - mikeh -- ============================================================================== || Mike Hostetler || || <A HREF="http://www.binary.net/thehaas"><A HREF="http://www.binary.net/thehaas</A">http://www.binary.net/thehaas</A</A>> || || email1: mhostetl@cse.unl.edu || || email2: thehaas@binary.net || ============================================================================== || `When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows", people just || || stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, || || *for free*".' - Linus Torvalds || ============================================================================== -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
