Moahaha! Sorry, bad yolk... but if you want a fast and stable (and standards compliant) WM I'd personally recommend fluxbox or blackbox. However, that's very personal, so you should have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/x11-wm.html for further tips and inspiration. Do you mean that you want the WM to be configured to keep users from closing the application? Tough one, it should probably be done from within the application itself in some way. If anyone should have a spot-on match in this case, I'm kinda curious too, so please reply to the list. /Jalle At 18:30 2003-05-20 -0400, stan wrote: >I'm setting up a machine to sue as a dedicated replacement for an alarm >printer on a control system. > >I was not planing to use a window manager at all, and I actually have a >rather nice looking X session with no borders working.
