It is a clone >of MOTIF if not the real thing :) This isn't quite accurate. Gwm stood for something like "Generic Window Manager", and was a way to let people add various bells and whistles to it, to make it look like all the other WM's out there. Or actually, to make it easy to customize any way the user wants it. GWM happens to include a Motify-looking configuration, along with several others. Note: I don't use GWM, I just remember looking at it a loooong time ago. -- Jaye Mathisen, COE Systems Manager (406) 994-4780 410 Roberts Hall,Dept. of Computer Science Montana State University,Bozeman MT 59717 osyjm@cs.montana.edu
