PLWM indeed there have been no official release since 2004, but not dead: Development is ungoing (latest commit a week ago), and Debian currently ships patched to be in sync with the development tree as of mid 2008. Samurai-x2 sounds interesting. Cairo in recent Debian (and derivatives) is linked against XCB. If relevant for Sugar development/testing, I can probably be convinced to build samurai-x2. Let me know if there is interest in doing that. - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkl0wQwACgkQn7DbMsAkQLiwUQCdEabAJEDrcLE8GJdJJL/DuLAd EEkAn0FOcUazR6OcC3OcP/Of4Q3r0W+l =Ymlj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
