Hallo, MvH hat gesagt: // MvH wrote:
I know this is of no help but - since I have this 'problem' a lot - I prefer to use X without *any* windowmanager. I put some xterms on screen ( preferably with different colours for different tasks etc...) and the pd gui using my .xinitrc file; the --geometry 100+40+0+0 option is what you need for this :)
This is a cute solution, however there are a lot of window managers, which are almost like that with a little bit of added comfort. WMI was mentioned, other alternatives might include Ion or evilwm, which is Tom's WM of choice, AFAIK. Evilwm even is included as a packet forth module in latest pdp cvs, for those, who like to take it to the extreme. :) Evilwm already is available as a Python module, which is what I also played with. I like the idea of starting X without WM, just a Python shell in a terminal, then doing a
import EvilWM e = EvilWM.WM e.run()
or similar. Good to shock friends who complain about Linux not being user friendly. It's so nerdy. ;)
