I must admit I've never tried Gnome (I just thought it looked cool). But I've grabbed the latest Window Maker 0.53 and it seems pretty solid on my machine, apart from Wprefs dying once. Even if we didn't use Window Maker, it may be possible to 'port' the theme to another manager like Afterstep. However, I think it would be a good way to help get FreeBSD onto the desktop if we could install a branded GUI at installation. And as I'm not a big fan of twm, I think a new manager is called for. How 'bout XDM? Do you think it would be a good idea to install that as standard if the user chose this new GUI option? --- Andrew Boothman <andrew@cream.org> http://sour.cream.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
