fvwm vs. fvwm-crystal
Hi,
Having always had fvwm as window-manager, I decided to look at
fvwm-crystal and installed it.
Fvwm-crystal may be *based* upon fvwm but it sure is not in the
*tradition* of fvwm.
In fvwm the centerpiece is the the config file, .fvwm2rc that you change
with any editor to change anything you want in every detail.
Fvwm-crystal hides that and is entirely GUI based. Not interesting at all.
Fvwm-crystal flunked the test :-) too bad...
