Both KDE and GNOME have menus full of links to all of the software installed
on the system, including the Debian menu. When I use any other installed
windows manager, i.e. fluxbox, blackbox, enlightenment or xfce4, the menus
are all empty. How can I get at least the Debian menu to appear in

Go to freshmeat.net and look for guichooser. It is a gtk app that works
great for switching between window

You just have to edit ~/.xsession, change "exec foowm" to "exec barwm".
If you get Gnome 1.0 though,
Hi,
I was wondering if there is any software available that makes it easy to switch
window managers without having to edit too many ini files.
TIA

Ive been able to boot X, but I would like to run

I try to manually run a manager, I cannot click on the buttons. What did I do

Well... I'd suggest you to use icewm... it is small, fast, and it will be
one of the gnome-aware window managers. Version 0.8.16 is available in
hamm, 0.9.5 in slink. 0.9.
Debian GNOME packages are in the finalization process and will appear in
slink RSN (Real Soon Now). This includes ALL GNOME apps we can get our
hands on from CVS. If any are missed, I am sure the debian-user
community will inform us (-:

Could anyone suggest some good windows manager packages and where to get
them? I'm using debian 2.0, kernel 2.0.33-9, x11R6. I'd like to be
able to use something that would be compatible with the upcoming release
of GNOME for debian. (Midnight Commander?) Is gmc available for
debian? (ref. to

For a long time, since two days after I first installed a pre 1.3 debian
system, most of the icons in fvwm2 menus stopped working. Until the latest
afterstep, only root could get all the icons in afterstep, but the latest
afterstep improves this at least to some extent.
