You don't remember the 'buttons' module, the pager, the audio module for sound, the iconbox module so you get icons when you minimize programs inside a box instead of floating all over the desktop? Also, I found an addon for Fvwm2 the other day called "Tkgoodstuff" that adds a bunch more modules. You should take a look at my desktop BTW, it's starting to look pretty darn good... One of these days I'll get a program that takes screen shots, and put one up on my web site :-) >what is an advanced BSD user?

Me, I wanted something not quite so simple, yet not something outrageously complex like KDE. So, in conclusion, there are at least 50 different window managers available just in the packages, and probably a hundred more from other sources, it's a big world, so I'm glad that both of us found what we were looking for! >btw.. sorry my english (if someone noticed it was english :) Actually your English is quite good... I've seen a heck of a lot worse :-) -- My web site starts at http://www.serv.net/~fewtch/index.html - lots of goodies for everyone, have a look if you have the time.
