I see that in terms of window managers, FC3 dropped sawfish and added
xfwm4.
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, this means that from my point of
view, FC3 does not have a usable window manager.
As far as I'm concerned, a usable window manager must support the
following capabilities:
1. GNOME-aware.
2. The ability to bind events to keyboard/mouse combinations,
such as binding "Raise Window" to "Meta+MouseButton1".
3. The ability to disable "raise on click" behavior.
4. The ability to disable "raise on focus" behavior.
The last time I checked, metacity failed #3, and Havoc refuses to add
capability #2:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95499
xfwm4 appears to fail capability #2.
twm and mwm fail capability #1.
If my assessment above is wrong, I would appreciate corrections, as I
would greatly prefer to use one of the window managers that comes with
FC3.
Otherwise, if my assessment is correct: what are those of you who also
demand the above capabilities using? Sawfish from CVS? Something
else?
Thanks,
