I don't bother with a file manager, so I never use the icons. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure others do use file managers. For the record, I use lwm, as I've as yet to find a more minimalist window manager - ignoring ratpoison, anyway. The "taskbar" is a popup on the right mouse button. The other two buttons run user-specified commands; I use 9menu to create two custom menus. The window decoration has one button. Clicking that closes the window. All other window manipulations are done anywhere on the border, so no other decorations are needed. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
