Looks like Preview.app is broken. ViewPDF works, and I'm not sure how to
easily associate other viewers. I clicked on a .py file and saw no way to
associate it with TextView, or anything else. I find the interface quite
unintuitive, with lots of flickering as my mouse causes focus changes. It
seems incompatible with focus follows mouse mode, since some windows just
lower when my mouse moves out from the window boundaries.

I'm also unclear on the boundaries between GWorkspace and WindowMaker, as they
both seem to implement a dock...

Ok, thanks. I'd love to see some good tutorials in youtube, or elsewhere.
