Thanks, but I think you may have missed the point. I can vaguely recall fvwm from the days when it was one of the 3 or 4 WMs that existed, very Win95-ish if memory serves. Probably rather primitive compared to fluxbox or IceWM, both of which I'm actually rather fond of. What I'm looking for is something so that I don't have to stop and think "O.K. Now I'm in Linux, how do I edit a text file again?" No, I'm not stupid, I just consider it very inefficient having to think about how to accomplish such a simple task  ! Converting the M$ masses is a great side-project, but not my primary goal.

I haven't seen 0.5.1 yet, but 0.5.0 was more like a proof of concept, really no more than a skeleton of a desktop and window manager. Although it never even occurred to me that it might not be configurable. A number of custom apps are available at http://kylixapps.narod.ru/ but I'm waiting for debXPde 1.0.0 (aka Barnix) to get some idea what can be done with it. If it can't be configured, then it'll be utterly worthless as a generic desktop & WM though. Another good idea poorly executed, I guess. Thanks for your link & feedback!

, consider the fact that many people must constantly switch back and forth from Bill's world to that of Linus and anything that allows them to "just do it" rather than having to spend time figuring out "how to do it" is a real time-saver. I've never really liked Luna myself, it's rather garish. But, it is what probably 80%+ of the world looks at on a daily basis. So, I find the idea of making crossover a no-brainer very interesting
