- One vote against olvwm. It is open look. (typing this on a SUN with
- ^&*%#$ open look completely removed; I use plain X11R5 instead). Use
- ctwm, it is like twm, thus completely customizable (the standard
- customization is not very nice) but offers virtual screens as well. I
- shall append my .ctwmrc file, which is quite nice:
