Especially after patching it to support general -> AutoRaise and AutoRaiseDelay options. -> -> If mwm would have vtwm's Virtual Desktop features, it would rule. -> I vaguely remember reading something that said OSF was planning to add a virtual capability to mwm in a future release. Is there anyone from OSF out there that can deny or affirm this? In any case, I believe there has been a lot of market pressure for this capability, and when there's demand, someone will come up with a supply. I would put my vote for mwm. It looks great, has tons of options, and is becoming standard over many different platforms. I wish Sun would see the light and distribute Motif with the OS instead of OpenLook. -- Jason C.
