There is a system-wide file in the /etc tree and each user of the system has one in his $HOME tree. Now, I _think_ that the latest version of wmaker has moved these files to a different location. The version that comes with sarge has them in: /etc/GNUStep/Defaults $HOME/GNUStep/Defaults As to the new version I don't know. I'm not sure this helps. Thanks cga PS. Oh, if this takes you anywhere and you feel like editing wmaker config files, remember that doing it with a wmaker session running is asking for trouble. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
