PS: What software should be responsible for the wallpaper? What's the better choice, the one I made for my Debian install (/mnt/debi386/) or the one I made for my Arch install (~/)? [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat /mnt/debi386/home/rocketmouse/.jwmrc [snip] <StartupCommand> Esetroot -m /usr/share/wallpapers/Grass/contents/images/1280x1024.jpg </StartupCommand> [snip] [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat ~/.jwmrc [snip] <StartupCommand>feh --bg-scale /home/rocketmouse/.customization/dark_cartoon_art-modified-1152x864.jpg</StartupCommand> [snip] I don't want to decide what "sane" default software for JWM usage could be. Some people want to get something close to a bloated DE, other's want to be closer to a tiling window manager when using JWM.
