XFWM worked out-of-the-box for me (but I did compile from source rather than using a repo, maybe that has something to do with it). About the only thing I changed was to change the keymaps to more closely match Metacity (contact me off-list if you'd like a copy of the keymap file I'm using). Currently, the only "problem" I have with XFWM is that alt-tab window cycling picks up the panels (i.e., it selects and highlights them) whereas Metacity didn't. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
