So why FVWM 2 and not TWM, AfterStep, Window Maker, IceWM, fluxbox etc. ? FVWM is a great window manager but I don't think the audience of that section will like FVWM. Why not adding a link to the http://www.plig.org/xwinman/ page (this page is guide to all window managers.) and then pointing the reader to our ports/x11-wm directory? Tell me what you think about that. Marc
