Howdy folks,
Does anyone else here follow alt.blackbox.planned.featurebloat?
Well, I've come to accept that we'll soon have random on-the-fly theme changes
and, of course, animated pixmap window decorations. Life would be awfully dull
without them. And why settle for xearth when you can have a 3-D image
generated from a real-time connection with the space shuttle?
But, I'm drawing the line at auto_mind_read docapps, also known as the ME
(millenium expectation) System, or, more technically, pre-demand loading.
It's not a bad idea, such as it is, but it's time is not here yet. I'm not
shaving my head for anyone and besides, I know the electrode paste would give
me a rash. Don't ask about my previous experience, please.
So, I'm going on strike against window managers. Here's my .xinitrc file:
xset m 4 2
xsetroot -gray
exec bbrun
exit ()
If you want to try it, just get rid of your large fonts and be careful about
specifying geometry. Running top on your console can be handy. You Brits may
have to spell it 'grey'.
Good luck,
- Jim
