Re: [9fans] other versions of 9wm

the 'virtual desktop' business is the one that I'm most interested in
having, though I haven't used any virtual desktops for the past year and a
half (both in rio and in the 9wm that I use)... it's a pain on smaller
screens...

someday I'll hack 4 virtual desktops into Rio just to piss people enough so
that they do it better on their own. no need for buttons and nice 'virtual
console managers' -- take the fvwm approach and switch consoles by
'pressing' the mouse against the end of the screen in the direction of the
console you want ;)

there'll be flashy text indicating which console you've just switched to.
the letters would fade slowly and elegantly.

in fact, there _should_ be a virtual console manager present... maybe even
two -- one at the top, one at the bottom, showing a minimized view of the
screen (see the screenshot at:

we're half way there!)
