What???? You don't just switch back and forth between
virtual consoles... :-)
I am really interested in just what put OpenBox on the top of
your list, and what makes it painful too. Given that list, you
must have a well developed concept of what is of value to you in
a window manager. Can you give a brief (or not if the mood
strikes you) description of what you do or don't like in a
window manager?
For me personally the more you can relate it to fvwm2, the more
I'll be able to understand. I've been tweeking fvwm or fvwm2
for well over a decade, so it's the only one that I can claim to
actually understand. A few years ago I did make an effort to
check out several others, but that's been so long that I don't
even remember which ones or how many.
Maybe even just a list of "must have" and "cannot live with"
type things???
