Window Managers

Calum:
hey, on topic (i hope), does anybody know of anywhere i can get icePrefas a source tarball or source rpm please? i went here but could not find any links to icePref.
No big deal i suppose as there are a few other iceWM configurers there that i will also try.

Calum:
aha. on topic again (i still hope) I just set up a guest account on my home laptop machine in mandrake 9.0.
Two questions, i want to set up the guest to use GNOME2.0, with IceWM as the window manager, is this as easy as setting IceWM instead of Sawfish in the control panel? or are there tips and tricks i need to know? i will search using google, but just if anybody happens to know...

also, not sure what login manager i am using, it is a graphical (X) one, whichever one is default with mandrake, and i want to make it so that 'guest' cannot login without using the GNOME/IceWM environment, while allowing other users to have the choice of any environments that are installed (which currently all users have) is this possible? if so, any idea how?
Thanks in advance, but no sweat if not, i will search google.

HEh, that is pretty bad when a person doesn't even know the max refresh rate that his monitor can do.

Mine can do up to 2048x1536@144hz(it can do up to 210hz in lower resolutions like 1024x768    :D   ). Maybe this goes to show that just because you use Linux doesn't make you a technical person(as opposed to what some Linux Zealots say). ;P

No shit Sherlock. Just like just because a person uses Windows doesn't automatically mean that they are an idiot. Although chances are that would be the case, and some might consider you in that category (not saying I do). I would much rather be a Linux zealot than an Windows idiot.

Calum:
me too.

why does zombie2468764237 follow people around and insult them when they ask a question?

maybe in windowsuserland it is somehow shameful to ask a question.

Well linux has a lot higher newbie user quotient than windows does, and maybe unlike with windows it is OKAY for linux users to ask each other questions.

maybe you should go and peddle your windows guruness on the windows BS, zombie...
