Just installed it the other day. It's come a long way since I stopped using it some time ago (a year?). It's much more stripped down than other window managers; it's just a window manager, not a "desktop enviroment." On that note I think it's generally used in conjunction with Gnome. And if you know lisp that's a big plus when it comes to customizing. But it's bare appearance is attractive to me. I use it without Gnome, which is too muddled for me. Try running sawfish alongside gkrellm and you've got pretty much everything. > How does it compare to enlightenment? I never liked enlightenment. It was much too slow, even on a fast computer. -- David Kanter djkanter@northwestern.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
