If the average Linux user is as picky about his window managers as I am, rio is certainly a turnoff. I've tried and rejected most every window manager available for Linux either because they can't be customized, the keyboard shortcuts are nearly nonexistant, or dual-head support is broken. I was so excited about evilwm, but it doesn't do dual head properly :( I'm back on FVWM now; I'd be using uwm, but the project is pretty much dead *and* has broken dual-head support. I personally like rio well enough for interacting with Plan 9, although I don't think I'd run it on Linux. John -- Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
