I honestly believe that it is for the following reasons: 1) it's free 2) GoodStuff Module is very handy 3) it has virtual windows 4) it can be configured to behave and look like MWM if you so desire. What does mwm have to offer that fvwm does not? Maybe I'll switch. ;-) Mark -- Mark Willey - Intel P6c DLA - (408) 765-3913 - mwilley@mipos2.intel.com
