Holy Batman on fire! You've been through a lot more wms than me (well,
I've toyed with fluxbox, pekwm, blackbox, kahakai and fvwm before ion3,
but I didn't use them for more than a week each). You surely take the
prize. :)

Hmm, what you said made me come to this: dwm is the programmer's wm
for the same reason OSX is *supposedly* the common user's computer: it
Just Works (tm). We don't need no stinky bling-bling, however. :)

My mom was just amazed at how fast I did whatever I want on the pc when
she saw me using dwm, jokingly asking when did I get my telepathic
man-machine interface.

Regards,
