I have just recently started playing with XFree86 (v2.0) under FreeBSD 
(v1.1.5.1). I've had a fair amount of success using the Open Look Window 
Manager (olwn) that came in "xview32_bin.tgz" in the packages-1.1 
directory on freebsd.cdrom.com, BUT there appears to be a program missing 
from the package. The missing piece is "owplaces", and it is used to save 
the current desktop settings. Now I am having fun learning about X and 
all, but I would rather not have to save my settings by manually editing 
the ".openwin-init" file each time I want to change something.

Can anyone point me to a place where I can find the missing pieces? 
Source code or binary would be fine. I don't really want to download the 
entire Xview archive for one utility program if I can help it.
