Maybe he was the first but not the only one. I have wmaker installed and it
works without any problem. Not that I use it, I installed it just to se how
it would work, and it does. I have had no problems at all when installing
it or running it so this problem must be something else. However, I can't
remember if I chose to install wmaker from the initial istallation or if I
installed it later on.
I have to agree though, it's far to heavy to use.
