Hey All,
Now that I have found out that Xadmin is gone, does anyone have a
recommendation fro a replacement admin tool. I like something at least
equal to xadmin if not better...
Rod...
Does anyone no how to center the background. I was playing with the gimp
and converted my old NT backgrounds to wmaker, but the tile and there is
no need for them to.
