Does anybode > have an opinion about it? note. I dont like kde :) tried fvwm2? i use vi(m) to easily edit configuration file, but there seems to be some modules which may do it for you. (there is also "fvwm-theme" port ... perhaps that will fit you.) one can set any number of virtual desktops, configure key bindings to just about lose the mouse. it keeps configuration in one file which can be different than ~/.fvwm2rc. another wm to try would be blackbox or fluxbox; they sure do have built in gui configuration tool(s). blackbox creates its own directory w/ more than configuration file in user directory. hey, just try the wm's in ports/x11-wm & see what you like. - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
