A few teaks here and there ore fine, but if I need to "learn" to setup a decent wm, then it sorta defeats the purpose. I love BSD under a wm, but I don't have the luxury of spending hours to days makeing a "kick-ass" looking environment. That's just me tho - I have seen what other can do - I lack the creative-eye to do that fancy stuff. -- Best regards, Chris Go where the money is.
