With all of the postings in various newsgroups about different window managers/desktops and their pros and cons, one question comes to mind. Why is olwm (olvwm) given such little consideration. In my mind, it is one of the cleanest - and simplest - desktop environments to use, and everything I use seems to execute quite flawlessly under it (netscape, kmail, kjots, keditor, xwpe, etc). Am I missing something?

Is there some inherent problem with olvm that I have not yet encountered?

Are there any regular users of olvm out there? Any comments??

I think the users of peoble want to use a 'more comfortable' window manager. Also, most people tend to use the newest software currently released on the market. So they use beta verions like kwm, although i won't criticise them. Since i started using linux, i use the fvwm2, maybe because this was the default window manager which has been installed by the SuSE Linux distribution. I dont know why i should change to some other, because i have all i need. I dont have any experiance with olvm until know, but i will give a look at it soon.
