Hi,

 having got Etoile running and being brave I have now decided
to have a go and temporarily replace WindowMaker by Etoile as
my desktop environment for my daily work. Knowing perfectly
well that the software is still in a very early state I do
not expect much, and what I see actually looks already very
good to me. Still there's a number of questions (the answers
may look much like "yes", "no", "later"):

 - Can I remove icons from the dock?
 - Can I configure icons for applications in the dock?
 - Can I configure the sorting order of the icons in the dock?
 - Can I keep the dock from growing beyond my screen's
   dimensions?
 - Do you plan to allow setting the dock up to a MacOS-like
   horizontal layout?

 - Can I increase the number of virtual desktops (how)?
 - Can I configure the hotkey used by AZSwitch (how)?
 - Will there be an integration into the SystemPreferences
   panel?
 - Is there a source of information on how I can configure the
   applications shipping with Etoile (I would not mind hacking
   my GNUstep/Defaults/.GNUstepDefaults if necessary)? I
   already figured out the openbox stuff for Azalea, but the
   other apps still seem a mystery to me :)
 - Is there a way I can get a desktop menu containing apps to
   launch (like in WindowMaker), ideally using a keyboard
   hotkey? The openbox menus seem to be suppressed in some way.

I must say I am excited about the idea of combining the GNUstep
API with the idea of a Mac-like UI, and though I might switch
back to WindowMaker after a while, this will only be because at
this early stage there still seem to be a few things missing
which I consider very important. Great work!

Cheers,

Martin
