Not entirely true there. That 'v' in the name means 'virtual desktop'. The original 'olwm' (also known as `Open Look Window Manager') did not support virtual desktops. Then olvwm came along, with virtual desktops and stuff. One of the most beautiful window managers, if you ask me. I really liked Open Look, from the first time I saw it running on Sun X clients at our University department. -giorgos --GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE7pvj8nx3zGsay9fwRAlqeAJ9GTC+riMSMz+qaAhhXjk9RNHtYPQCgt7wC irreedXFo4h/sNpvsdoqqTs= =8xyS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
