using WindowMaker instead of twm
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. But when I tried to run it. WindowMaker couldn't start, crashed all the time. So how do I use windowmaker instead of twm? (or does cygwin come with any other better window manager?) __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Re: using WindowMaker instead of twm
Be sure that your $HOME variable is not set to the default windows location, but set it to e.g. c:\cygwin\home\yourname. wmaker has a problem with c:\Documents and Settings\ Quan Ding [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
