There's literally hundreds to choose from. Just because twm happened to come with your computer, doesn't mean it's at all a good idea to use it, for anything. Particularly as you dislike the way it places windows. > Probably because "nobody" uses twm (note the quotes, this time). Gnome's percentage market share is in the low double digits, as is KDE's. Not everybody uses Gnome/KDE. TWM, however, really does have practically nobody using it. -- Ha. I'm the idiot.
