Openbox3 handles keybinding by itself. It is highly customisable and has great "pack" and "grow" window move and resize features. It is also possible to do basically everything with the keyboard. It is not in Debian yet, but .debs can be found at http://www.hetzi.at/thomas/debian. This WM was mentioned by a poster on this list a month or so ago. At the time I was using sawfish, but was getting sick of the bloat and considering switching back to fvwm. I'm _so_ glad I tried openbox3. I have it set up to do all the things you wanted except use the Debian menus. I've not tried. Anyway, HTH, Nick. -- Debian testing/unstable Linux twofish 2.6.0-test9-looxt93c1 i686 GNU/Linux
