Checked the archives, unfortunately, the only other reference was also
unresolved. Can't get to the menus with only one mouse button. I've read
that bb doesn't do keyboard modifiers, but surely a method to make a one
button mouse work would be nice :) I would give it a try, but I'm no
programmer (well, I am - but in motorola assembly...)
It seems a shame, given that bb would be the perfect WM for older Macs
running linux/NetBSD. It's fast, simple, small, and a lot better than
twm, which NetBSD ships with. Unfortunately, if I accidentally
"minimize" the login window, I have to log in remotely to shutdown X. If I
leave BB as the root program, rather than an xterm, there is no way to
shutdown X locally. Fortunately, I have more than one machine... :)
Thanks,
Seth
