Those tabs are the reason I like fluxbox so much. No hasle with windows anymore. Good groups file makes life a lot easier. > All that said, Openbox appears to have its nicer qualities. > Actually, I'm thinking of returning to FVWM. :-) I used to use Gnome, but when I moved to Gentoo, I thought that I would try some alternatives, because portage makes the testing easy (read no dependency hunting). I found out that Fluxbox offered all the things I need and some things that I couldn't live without anymore like tabs. As side note I have parts of Gnome and KDE installed, because I like Anjuta and I prefer KMail as my MUA. And because I don't use whole Gnome or KDE the updates don't take too much time either. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
