hi heiko, i've just started with x and use twm for about 3 hours now... not sure if its rude to ask, is there any chance we get a copy of this script so to have a starting point??? i'm planning to stick with wtm for the moment and try to configure it to learn. dont wanna fall into the trap of downloading and trying all bloody window managers from my 56k connection. u know, one thing i realy miss from ms-win is the alt-tab thing to switch between windows(and brink them forward as well). can this be done on wtm? it just pisses me off that i got to move the mouse all the time to change window and have to click to brink it forward... thanx a lot. --- Heiko Recktenwald <uzs106@ibm.rhrz.uni-bonn.de> > wrote: >> > KDE is a windozish desktop, you dont need it, it is confusing. >> > twm, that is the default when you install X, is all you need to run things >> > like xv, basic image manipulation, or gimp, or netscape. >> >> Surely there's better window managers than twm!
