There are many Window Managers that allow for this kind of thing: KDE/(pick a WM), GNOME/(pick a WM) or most WMs alone (including afterstep :) You seem to insist... are/were you a NeXTSTEP user? I was... but no resource yet to run MacOS X... Oki

I'm just thinking that having be able to switch the look of your desktop is kinda cool. Oki

Re: Gnome panel and Enlightenment
I have taken a giant leap of faith and gone back to using gnome-session. In the earlier days of gnome, this used to cause load of interesting effects to happen, but now everything seems to work just fine. Try the following in your .xsession file (and dump your .xinitrc file) exec gnome-session Thats it !! This command will run the default window manager for you (so dont include a line for enlightenment), as well as all the gnome stuff you want. You will have to run them the first time so they are included in the session though. Gnome session will also remember the state you leave your (gnome) applications in when you log out, so they will be there when you come back (log back in). Hope this helps, John.

Gnome panel and Enlightenment

Otherwise, panel is loaded before enlightenment, and can't register as being `sticky'. I have in my .xsession file: Eterm mypanel enlightenment and in /usr/local/bin/mypanel: #!/bin/sh sleep 5 panel and it now works fine for me. This may be a bug, I'm not sure. Apparently it's an enlightenment problem rather than a gnome-panel one, though. HTH, HAND, -- alisdair mcdiarmid[EMAIL PROTECTED] [funny how everything i swore i wouldn't change, is different now]
