Many thanks, James The x11-wm/windowmaker port has been updated, but the pkg isn't available yet. If I'm correct, the pkg repository is updated every 3 months, so it would be available in Q4. If you want to use windowmaker 0.95.8 now, best thing to do is use the port. Regards, Marco -- Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star. -- W. Clement Stone
