Any advise? thanks, GNOME assumes for the most part that the window manager follows the Window Manager Specification (http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/wm- spec) and should work well with any window manager that does. Now, the fact that you are getting the panel in the middle of your screen may be a strong indication that evilwm is not following that standard, and, indeed, http://evilwm.sourceforge.net/ does not it afaict. One thing you could do is write to the authors of evilwm and ask them whether they support the WMS, and, if not, to suggest that they do. -- m -- Mariano SuÃrez-Alvarez <msuarezalvarez@xxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
