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. -- ........................................................................... ..
