Alex Sawfish was what Gnome used many generations ago... But now the sawfish downloadable through their software centre is very old. To get a current version it must be built from source. my installation is broken, likely i made some mistake in loading it.
Sawfish is made from a Scheme variant called Rep. Rep is barely functional, no debugger etc. Needs reimplementation in a better language for much faster updating and easier customising. Some interest in the Racket community. i do not yet have J running on that machine so i cannot comment on GL`s utility. greg ~krsnadas.org -- from: Alex Giannakopoulos aeg...@blueyonder.co.uk to: programm...@jsoftware.com date: 21 November 2012 09:14 subject: Re: [Jprogramming] A little UBUNTU help I've got the same on another system. Ubuntu Server installation, Xubuntu desktop. Works dandy. Kubuntu is nice too, if somewhat heavyweight. Frankly there was nothing wrong with Gnome before, IMHO, but I can't figure where they're going with Gnome 3. I wonder if it has to do with mobiles, Unity and the like, in which case, fine, but fergawdsake but keep it away from our desktops! Is OpenGL working for you with 701gtk greg? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
