I've been playing with some of the window managers available for FreeBSD-2.2.8 and am leaning towards gwm for its flexibility and the nice feature of being able to control everything with little snippets of lisp. However, I'm finding that it has a tendency to freeze at times, leading to great frustration for users with little experience of these things. I'd be interested to hear from anybody who uses gwm and knows what things should be avoided if it is to be reliable enough for ordinary users. I'm also interested in recommendations of other window managers that work well under 2.2.8 -- but they must offer multiple virtual screens in a fashion that is simple to navigate (which is wmaker falls down badly) and they must be very configurable. Thanks in advance for any useful pointers. -- Greg Black <gjb@acm.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
