Perhaps if you would use a different window manager you would have better luck. But remember what I said about your attitude? The above text is exactly what I am talking about. Take a chill pill and ask questions, try different software that may suit your tastes a bit better, but please don't continue your rant about how this or that doesn't work like you want it to. Don't like what you're using, then either switch to something else or write your own software. Simple huh?
