Re: Gnome2 wm trials....



On the last try I noticed that the gnome-panels will run under twm, it just
depends where I put them on the twm desktop, and if I put the second one under
the first. So I think that if I can get either metacity or sawfish to start
instead of twm, the panels might sort themselves out. Or maybe not. But it semms
a good place to start, getting twm out of the picture.
