I was not planing to use a window manager at all, and I actually have a rather nice looking X session with no borders working. However, now I have a request to add a browser to allow looking at some web based stuff. I want to setup a user interface where the operators can iconify, and resize windows, but not close them. The machine in question is only a P@. So what would you recommend for a very lightweight window manager for this application? -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
