Not all keyboards have a logo key, most of them have an alt key though. My keyboard doesn't have a win key. I believe that. :) But it's not an argument. I have one that even doesn't have some letters, but that doesn't mean it has to be supported. :)

Not all keyboards have a logo key, most of them have an alt key though. Well, yes, that may be truth. I've never seen one, though (apart from 8-bits of '80).

Hi, thanks for advice. One of the big pluses is pinning an app to a workspace. When I boot, I get two xterm windows in workspace 1, a browser in workspace 2, and my email client in workspace 3. That sounds interesting. At the moment I do the same at startup with xdotool set_desktop n and

I would say give it a try. After using the same window manager for a long time, I switched to dwm. I tried just about every window manager (ok, probably not true since there are so many obscure ones) but always went back to my favourite. dwm was the only one that stuck and was a big change for me.
