My main problem with IceWM, though, is that the project reeks of the "I only care about gcc/Linux, and screw everyone else" development mentality. Yes, I was able to build it on Solaris, but I remember it not being a walk in the park. (don't remember exactly where I saw developer references to this sort of mentality, but I remember seeing it somewhere when I was trying to build it)
Once I track down a configuration utility that runs on a chain of dependencies I can figure out how to properly assemble (icecc seemed to build, but looks like crap. IceWM Control Panel has dependencies I could not satisfy, no matter how much I tried), I should give it an honest shot. I also tried the software-companion bundled KDE 3.1 last night, and that seemed to work fairly well too. (I refuse to run one of the recently contributed newer-KDE builds, since they depend on their own entire clump of dependency software that is often half-broken and of older versions than what Sun includes with the OS) -Derek _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
