RE: worthless window manager

["Guido Cervone" <gcervone gmu edu>]

Hi, I feel a little bit ignorant here! :((( I only know, Gnome and fvwm.
The first because it comes with Redhat 6.0, and the latter because it came
with an early version.  Is there a place where I can find few lines which
describe the difference between the window managers?

Thanks everyone

Guido

No offense to Vic but isn't it interesting what people expect now
days of window managers?  A few years ago no one would have even
thought to ask for self configuring desktops.  Now it seems at least
one person _expects_ this.  Wow I guess that's progress.

Actually one of my favorite window managers is OLWM (Open Look).  It comes
up with nothing but a blank blue screen.  No toolbar, wharf, nothing.  It
is what I call "zero clutter".
