Thanks for all the feedback. twm is going to stay. I'll update it soon. -- Matthieu Herrb
Re: remove twm(1) from xenocara ?
I use it, have used it, and will continue to use it full time. It is simple, low resource use and works on any system I have. I don't need any more functionality in a window manager. Anything else can be added on. The argument presented is something like "why would anyone want to do that". geoff steckel On 7/18/22 23:49, Andrei wrote: I would support this.

I think cwm works fine for that and it is still there.

Re: remove twm(1) from xenocara ?
This is just the perspective of a user (even less: my _personal_ perspective). Removing twm would be a mistake in my opinion. It is still pretty functional and, when correctly configured, useful for server maintenance. And having it available in stock X11 is a definitely a plus.

remove twm(1) from xenocara ?
Hi, twm(1) is the original X11R5 window manager. It has not been update to support any of the extended window manager hints and still only knows how to handle the legacy bitmapped fonts rendered by the X server. In ports we have x11/ctwm which, for people looking at legacy stuff, is superior ihmo. I'm suggesting here to drop twm from xenocara (ie xbase). Anyone willing to keep it around is welcome to submit a port for it. ok ? -- Matthieu Herrb
