Thanks for the responses!
* Working on the resolution now.
* I got it working on the menu dragging. Just took practice. :-)
* Got some apps added too. Just did some digging. Getting the hang
of
it.
* Sounds good. I'll explore them and take a look around.
* I'm wondering if installing GNUSTEP would possibly help? Would it
provide me a more NeXTSTEP-like environment? Window Maker has
DEFINITELY made my work environment much more enjoyable, and I'd like
to keep going and just eliminate GNOME as much as possible and have a
more NeXTSTEP like environment to work in for simplicity.
Nathan,
probably you are not subscribed to the mail list and John must approve
your mails. Probably is better you subscribe to the maillist, solve the
doubts and then, unsubscribe (if you want, you are welcome).
About your last question, Wmaker is written in C, and don't use
GNUstep, then install it don't helps.

Thanks!

WindowMaker is currently running in 4:3. However, I'm on a 16:9
widescreen monitor. Is there a way to adjust the resolution of
WindowMaker for the 16:9 widescreen monitor?
You don't adjust the resolution of WindowMaker, you adjust the
resolution of the whole X Session.
Try
$ xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900
Where VGA1 is your monitor and 1440x900 is the desired resolution.
You can see the available options with xrandr with no parameters.
Then make sure to restart WindowMaker (xrandr support is experimental
AFAIK).
I'm trying to use the menu editor in WMPrefs to drag items between
submenus, but the items aren't easily going there. How can I easily
drag an item from one submenu to another when editing menus?
Don't know, but you always have the option of editing the text file.
e executables?
As long as they are in your path, you shouldn't have to use the
complete
path.
Anyway
ays find it via the which command - e.g.
$ which bash
/usr/bin/bash
I also want to try out installing Dock Apps. How does one actually
install Dock Apps?
Like anything else - compile them yourself
n an xterm and they will appear on screen.
You can then move them around, dock them and tell WM to ma
of the default session via the right mouse button.
Lastly, Is there a way to change the menubar menus and icons for my
applications themselves to more resemble Window Maker/NeXTSTEP?
Yes, there are a number of ways (config files, dbus, etc...), but
you'd
probably better off asking a GTK ML.
Anyway, Paul Seelig, the
