Hi I have done a new installation of Potato, and have taken away xdm from all rcx.d and was happy - thanks for the help.
My way of using the windowmanager is to have many desktops up with specific programs running concurrently. So I tried to install Helix Gnome with apt-get. There was a hell of a lot of warnings during installation -> what is the best way to get a clean installation for an old man who wants to have many desktops to choose from. Are there other window-stuff than helix that give that easily grasped view of where you are and where to go? I could not stand that form used by WindowMaker, and found no information of programs from those 'balls'. A very important question!! How do I do to get spelling to function in netscape? I used apt-get install netscape and got static ones which ought to mean that there might be difficulties to have more than one language and get spelling? regards guran
