Hi Fred, thanks a lot for your kind words!
Nonetheless, i guess your kudos are much better directed to the Window Maker window manager developers, as actually they are doing the real Window Maker plumbing. I have CC'ed my reply accordingly (omitting your mail address for privacy concerns). The distribution named "Window Maker Live" is effectively a typical Debian variant, which has chosen Window Maker as its default graphical interface. Effectvely, all the underlying Debian package infrastructure also merits its own very special mention. While i definitely do not want to diminish my own work, as it has proven to be a very time intensive effort during the last weeks and months, i am mainly putting already existing bits and pieces together. My own efforts mainly consist in some extensive scripting glue and putting lots of user oriented settings already in place, ultimately aiming at an "out of the box" user experience. I am glad you like it!
