Don't ask me why, but I was sure it had a root window menu. If I put an "exec xterm&" in .xinitrc before calling it, that window appears and can obviously start everything else from it. So, isn't there any way to have metacity *and* root menu (without full blown KDE or Gnome, that is)? > > With twm there probably is a root window menu if you click the right > button. No, I don't think so. I clicked everything clickable before posting the original message.
