- Has anyone been using any other window manager other than twm?
-
- I have been using the Motif window manager and I like it better than twm.
-
- I have heard of gwm, olvwm plus a few others, but have not tried them
- with Xfree86.
-
- PS: The way I use mwm with 386bsd is this.....
-
- edit /usr/X386/lib/xinit/xinitrc
-
- comment out the line that states twm &
- use xhost to allow other access xhost + ( I think or was it xhost - )
-
- rsm userid otherhost /usr/bin/X11/mwm -display myip:0 &
-
-
- This actually tells otherhost to run its window manager pointing back to my
- box. It actually works great!
-
- I have also tried HPvue window manager this way, and it works ok also.
