some things still require hand editing of a rc but that is minimal. bbconf

I find fluxbox (which is based on blackbox 0.61) far preferable to
blackbox, openbox, or the others in that family. It has some nice new
features, such as window tabs and
new window is opened by the web site being visited, and I would prefer
the window to just take the entire screen or at least not require manual
placement.
Try to look at larswm.

You can launch your startup app from /etc/inittab. I used to work for
a company that installed kiosks, and this is how we did it. We ran
our own app, not a browser, and our X needs were very minimal. No
window manager, no windows except our one, no keyboard, no mouse
(touchscreen only), etc.

No, he means Sawfish. For you and the previous poster - Sawmill was
renamed to Sawfish due to some issues regarding the use of the name
Sawmill. It's all documented on the home page.

Hi people,
I use fvwm... And I've heard of Sawfish, that I've read is very fast.
But,
which one is faster, fvwm or Sawfish? (with a ISA-16 bit video card with
the config file totally hacked I still need more speed, victim of
capitalism I am!)
Thank you.

If you're going to run Gnome, I'd suggest using Helix-Gnome (on Woody) and
the version of Sawfish that comes with it. Sawfish
icewm (ice window manager) is another good one - very simple and easy on
resources.
