I do not fully agree. Could we say, if they don't return they do not deserve fvwm ? I was once a beginner, and probably still use less than 30% of fvwm feature, however I was quite determined in what I was wanting (not KDE, something close enough to motif), and read and re-read the man page, and experimented, and got all what I wanted. I started from the SuSE shipped configuration (which purists here say is not very good), got rid of what I did not want, and then started to add what I wanted one by one. Possibly posted a report long time ago. The only thing one can do to help beginners (discussed here a few month ago) is improving the readability of the long man page (using hypertext tricks and classifying the plethora of features by topic). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lucio Chiappetti - INAF/IASF - via Bassini 15 - I-20133 Milano (Italy) For more info : http://www.iasf-milano.inaf.it/~lucio/personal.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------
