Maybe - I just downloaded the own I saw linked to earlier. I'll scrap KDE for that, if it works. I personally think DTWM is the bast looking WM right now, just can't afford its $200 pricetag from XIG. I think I can make that other one do it. I am really excited to try it out, XFce I think its called. I like a window manger that is easy on the eyes and doesn't crash. I think I can get that from XFce. KDE has locked up on me a few times, it sucks to have to switch to a different computer and reboot - because the blasted WM crashed. I have a feeling that an easy to look at WM, that is light weight can fix my problems. OLWM, FVWM, FVWM95 - there ugly, there no fun, and well I have no desire to use them. I like KDE, its getting better with every release. I liked the way GNOME looked when I tried it, even though I had a bad experience with it, In the future - maybe currently it is good. I just feel like WM are plotting inot MS territory. Gone are the days when an X app worked on any WM. I did like that with the old days.
