It's actually very easy -- right now I'm running twm (Tom's window manager) from volume 1 of comp.sources.x. For awhile there I wasn't running any window manager at all, but I missed the ability to shuffle windows around. twm let's me do that with a minimum amount of window doo-dads to chew up what limited screen real estate I've got. At the end of my ~/.profile I have: xinit -geometry +10+10 +sb -title ahh-xterm -n ahh-xterm -display unix:0 In the file ~/.xinitrc I have: twm & xbiff -geometry -10+110 & xlogo -geometry -10-10 & xphoon -t 60 & The most difficult part is getting sources to whatever window manager you want to use. -- $BJ8;z(J Andy Heffernan This is Unix ( )- ahh@moji.uucp (uunet!glyph!moji!ahh) This is your brain on Unix (o)- Any questions?
