I'm still using IceWM (Theme: win95 - with 12 virt. screens). I like it, since it takes just 1 bottom(!) line (easier to watch through my presbyopic glasses) leaving a maximum of free space on narrow screens. Three tiny squares on this line show a) cpu + hd activities b) lan activity c) wan activity The rest of this line shows a digital clock (+ date under mouse cursor), my 12 tiny virtual screen buttons + active progs. w/in a specific screen. Progs. are started via a menu activated by <Ctrl-Esc> or the Start button down left - practically the same as in Win95. Screens are switched by <Ctrl-Alt-Arrow> or selected by mouse click. The little maintenance of IceWM has one advantage though: I keep my 4 old configuration files and copy them into the updated Debian directory (/etc/X11/icewm). IceWM, to my opinion, is the fastest unimpaired WM I know of. Wilko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
