I came upon this window manager by chance on a sporadic mention by another linux enthusiast. Used it for a day and switched to it completely.
It is very fast and so a boon on my netbook. Gnome applets work with it too. Default has no window decoration and windows operations are all driven by Meta key combinations. some key combos are cumbersome e.g. Shift+Meta+C for close, more due to the closeness of these keys and the need to use 2 hands. I mapped the context sensitive menu key on the right side as an additional meta key and using the WM was true to its name. Awesome came as on offshoot idea of dwm to build a minimalistic WM... dwm interface/ keybind customisation is done by changing the code and recompiling it. Awesome does it by customising a Lua file. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
