Personally I got tired of reaching for the mouse just to start some application a long time ago. I configured the often used applications like Rxvt or Firefox or Qjackctl to keyboard shortcuts using the otherwise useless "Windows"-key and a letter. My recommendation of using "screen" as a window manager wasn't a joke: Having a terminal running with 10 screen windows inside will let me start any application I want with a little Ctl-A-ing and typing and TABing in mere fractions of seconds. I always use the same couple of applications anyways. It's been a long time since I last started an application through a Menu entry. Linux still is a unix-like system with a very powerfull shell, that people should learn to use IMO. (Did I mention, that my file managers are cd, cp, ls, mv, mkdir and rm?) Once you get around to use the keyboard instead of Menus, the question of what X-window-manager is running becomes totally irrelevant or rather an aesthetic question: All window managers can move windows around, iconify them etc. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__
