Hallo all,
Well, I don't know if this is going to help, but I personally hate
WindowMaker! I'm currently using a combination of a bunch of stuff
that
work pretty well together.
Still using WindowMaker here (only X11 Wm I've ever really used) and it
works fine for us. Indeed it's the one I recommend to people comming to
Unix for the first time. But I gbet the feeling it's niot being worked
on
anymore, and there may come a time when it needs to be ditched.
I just tried enlightenment and am very dissapointed. I can reproduce
the same problem here I have with Window Maker. Starting an CPU
intensive operation in one application (e.g. generating some XML
output; takes 10s) blocks the whole desktop. I cannot switch to another
application until the operation has finished. :-(
Is this cooperative multi-tasking from the old MacOS 9/Windows 3.11 or
what? Moreover, if I have AppA activated and on the way (with the
mouse) from a window to the menu over the window of another application
(no click performed), this application gets activated. I guess this
should be a feature of enlightenment, but this is rather annoying on a
GNUstep desktop. Is anyone actually using enlightenment with GNUstep?
I will go and give beryl a try, but I have not much hope that I get
this compiled under Solaris. :-(
Regards,
Andreas
