I've copied xinitrc to $HOME/.xinitrc and modified it slightly: --- # start some nice programs #twm & #xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 & #xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 & #xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 & #exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login . /sw/bin/init.sh xterm & exec enlightenment ---- I'm just installing another wm now - enlightenment. which other window managers can i use? I just want to run a couple of xapps as quickly as possible, with the minimum fuss, so I can use the app. Do you have any recommendations? I see some references to a quartz-wm manager - is this apple's wm? I guess this only works for apple's X11 app? Also, are there any disadvantages to running standard terminal commands via xterm? Will there be any noticable speed difference? Or can I just load xdarwin with xterm and use the xterm as if it were Terminal.app?
