So I've been using Blackbox for some time now, but discovered that ghostview's interface doesn't want to work when run in Blackbox. I tested this on two very different boxes running slightly different versions of OpenBSD.
So I figured I would try FVWM (it comes with OpenBSD). Ghostview runs fine in FVWM for me so I spend a few hours setting up my desktop to be attractive and convenient for me. Then I discovered that launching many of the applications I use in FVWM didn't seem to work right. Konqueror didn't want to except the geometry arguments I gave it, and running ppp from the main menu froze the desktop (it could be killed with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace). I also tried putting my commands in shell scripts with the same results. If anybody can tell me how to make ghostview work correctly in Blackbox, or how to make FVWM2 2.2.5 (included with OpenBSD) run commands correctly from it's menu (specifically 'konqueror -geometry 1024x768' and 'ppp -background dialup'; I use thes same commands from the blackbox menu), I would be very grateful. All I want is a simple WM, KDE and Gnome are way to much for me. But I want to be able to make it attractive. I preffer blackbox. TimH
