What is the difference between Gnome (and its default wm called MetaCity) and the windows manager itself? I am very confused and when I run startx, gnome starts fine but there are 7 instances running in my taskbar at the bottom called "gmc" - what the heck? I am able to rightclick each and choose close but where do they come from? Also, I have a permanent fixture of a taskbar at the top of the screen, similar to a Mac (yecchhk!) How do I move it or remove it? I pkg_add'ed a windows manager called qvwm because it looks like Win98 but I can't change to it. Is there a URL or FAQ all about this stuff?
