You can supposedly do a lot of config stuff interactively with AS 1.4 as well, all the look/feel changing... In fact I could ONLY do it interactively which sounds bad if you ask me. I've figured out with wmaker how to run programs which happen to be in the Debian menu (which generally annoys me) and dock the running program's tile to dock or fiend. Dock appears to do nothing but be a place to dock things to. Fiend does this too, but it's not glued to a side and I can't get the window manager to move it to an out of the way place. Fiend either needs to become docked or replace the dock icon or something if it's not going to annoy me significantly. Essentially, it doesn't feel right to me and it doesn't help that I have no idea how to do anything I haven't described here with it. The config files looked more like a C program or a sh script than a file with settings and the like. I want easy to use. Something I can set up the way I want and be able to change as the rest of my system does quickly and easily. It's hard enough using X as it is with my vision (anyone got a cheap and big monitor by chance? heh)
