- Unfortuantely xfeel ties foreground to the focus (but I still have xfeel
- installed in my startup folder).
-
- I would like to make a request about xfeel. Who is the author of the
- program? I remember a post from him a while back but alas I didn't
- save it. I have many suggestions and bug reports I would like to
- give to him.
-
- Has anyone suggested to IBM to have more than one choice of window
- manager? (Who can I suggest it to -- preferably in Canada?)
