Teach me to open my fool mouth... if it's based off of Blackbox, it's only in spirit, 'cause even *I* can tell the two of them don't look anything like each other. Like Gnome would ever adopt anything written in C++ in the first place. Yah, right... KDE is more likely to dump kwin and adopt Openbox. :) /me puts on the dunce cap. Did find more than a few statements on the web talking about Sun and Metacity, though. :) -- Marc Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
