Icewm is very no-frills, but lightweight and quite configurable. It's only about a 121k dload so check it out. <BR> <A HREF="http://ixtas.fri.uni-lj.si/~markom/icewm/doc/icewm-3.html"><A HREF="http://ixtas.fri.uni-lj.si/~markom/icewm</A">http://ixtas.fri.uni-lj.si/~markom/icewm</A</A>> Pascal Bleser wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>what about ICEwm ? <BR>is it good ? <BR>nice design ? <BR>never saw a screenshot :-( Pascal <BR> /nick SuSE52 on #linux (IRCnet) <BR> root on www.student.prov-liege.be -----Original Message----- <BR>From: Michael Lankton <satan@nfinity.com> <BR>To: suse-linux-e@suse.com <suse-linux-e@suse.com> <BR>Date: mardi 12 mai 1998 23:55 <BR>Subject: Re: [S.u.S.E.
