using WindowMaker instead of twm

2003-01-30 Thread Quan Ding
I just downloaded and installed Cygwin. The default window manager : twm doesn't provide many functionality and it's hard to use. I don't even know how to change the windows size. (i'm a newbie). I found that there is wmaker.exe in X11R6/bin. So I replaced that with twm in the startxwin.sh file.

change the size of the window

I'm a newbie to cygwin. I found that all windows in X-window are fixed in size. There's no border that I can drag and change the size of that window. I search the mailing list and googled online and didn't find the answer. So how do I configure so that the window's size can be changed freely?

Scenario: I started x-window, open an emacs window from bash. then I c-x c-c out of emacs, and exit bash, then close x-window. then check the running process by running windows task manager. 9 out 10 times, processes like bash and emacs is still there. Why?
