I've got tvtwm working. Its primary advantage is that it has virtual
windows - I can have multiple "screens". I like the look of mwm better also
but it does not have a virtual window facility.
I hear that gwm has the basics of virtual windows and has a mwm emulator
(gwm is programmable in a lisp like language). It also is the recommended
was to get menus added to the Epoch editor. I do not know how good it is.
