This spacial model is so intuitive, it hurts! Ouch! It annoys the hell out of me so I turn it off. One thing ctwm has going for it is the ability to have a window appear in multiple workspaces (like VUE that inspired it). Unless I missed something, fvwm only allows a single worspace or all workspaces (sticky). Oh, and ctwm can manage non-root windows. This allows you to run a test copy in a window to play with configurations, while another window manager (or a stable ctwm configuration) manages everything outside. Not in the killer-feature class, but nifty regardless. (btw, I use fvwm) -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============
