Well, the key combinations can't be expected to be the same for all the
window managers.  If you prefer that the keys work in the same way as
windows, then I'd suggest that use KDE.  But please don't crib later that
it's damn slow.  That's the reason I don't install it on my machines.  There
are at least a few other window managers that are pretty fast, and have nice
appearance (although keys like `F4' which people *might* normally prefer,
don't work on them!).

Yes, at times it crashes.  BTW, I did land from Mars, in fact yesterday.
But how did you come to know about that?  In case you're interested in being
there, drop me a line privately.

Is this supposed to be any kind of answer to my suggestion.  Another
suggestion:  express yourself clearly.


I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
