- Has anyone tried to use the internal olvwm commands DIRMENU or WINMENU?
- When ever I had either of these as to my root menu olvwm and X dies
- with the error: "olvwm: Fatal Error: Memory allocation failure."
-
- Is "owplaces", which is called by SAVE_WORKSPACE internal command available
- on Linux? Is "owplaces" and "olwmslave" part of XView? If so, I guess they
- will be available when XView is ported to Linux.
-
- So far, I think olvwm is a great wm. It helps out alot for people like me
- that don't have 19" or 21" monitors.
-
- Last question... Would it somehow be possible to use olvwm's DIRMENU
- to pass a command line file name option to vi, or some other program?
- Thanks in advance to any who can help.
