On the one hand I like playing with all the fancy new desktop environments, while on the other hand I can get quite nostalgic.
Following the nostalgia, I've recently built and packaged up some of the older window managers - from the relatively rich Enlightenment and AfterStep, through Window Maker, some of the twm derivatives, the modern but minimalist pekwm, and even the old Ardent window manager. I also tried to get piewm working, and ended up simply adding piewm support to the latest tvtwm source rather than try and work out why piewm itself wouldn't work for me, generating a merge I call ptvtwm. Anyway, enough chatter. Downloads here: http://www.petertribble.co.uk/Solaris/x11-wm.html These are SVR4 packages, so they will work on Solaris 10. You can install them on OpenSolaris distributions as well, and binary compatibility will make sure they continue to work. I've supplied dtlogin and gdm integration for all of them. I believe these builds to largely work, and use them regularly, but can't guarantee them to be entirely bug free. Enjoy! (And let me know what you think, good or bad.) -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ desktop-discuss mailing list desktop-discuss@opensolaris.org
