Some people may notice that there is an AzaleaBox under /etoile/branches/.
It is the third attempt to have a window manager for GNUstep.
The window manager part is under /etoile/branches/AzaleaBox/Azalea.
This one is based on OpenBox 3 (http://icculus.org/openbox/)
and, in my opinion, has a higher chance to work in the end.
Although OpenBox 3, as well as this Azalea, does not recognize GNUstep,
it works pretty well on Gnome, and probably KDE.
Supporting for GNUstep will be added after the porting is done.
This port is quite stable even though it is a work-in-progress.
The SVN version is always tested before committing.
It will be helpful that people can test it once for a while.
The dependencies are glib, freetype2, fontconfig and libxml2.
In the future, dependencies on glib and libxml2 will be removed.
After that, it will be merged into etoile/trunk/.
Depending on your system, GNUmakefile may need to be modified.
It will be easier to install OpenBox3 before this one
so that you can have all the dependencies installed.
If you are using Gnome, you can replace the default window manager
by executing "openapp Azalea.app --replace" after Gnome starts
according to OpenBox3 documentation.
That's an easy way to test in a more complicated environment.
Comments are welcome. Helps are better. :)

Have fun
