you'll also notice that wabi follows you all over the desktop whether
you make it sticky or not. wabi basically ignores your window manager
and the idiots at sun consider this a feature (not only is it in the
wabi documentation, but when I complained about it in a user telephone
survey the interviewer told me I was wrong to consider it a misfeature
since, if I was running wabi then obviously the windoze apps are more
important than my Unix apps). Note that it misbehaves this way
whether you run twm, fvwm, olwm, olvwm or any other window manager. I
doubt there's much fvwm can do about it unless there's some way to get
a message to the x server that overrides it (I don't know enough X to
say one way or the other. I gave up on wabi because of that and other
little pains in the butt (I couldn't install applications from
anything but floppies, for example). Since I don't really need
windoze for my PC apps (what little I do need are much better served
by MAE even though I hate macintoys even more than I hate windoze)
that works fine for me. Another person here who really wanted to use
wabi but hated the way it ignored his window manager ended up running
xnest and displaying wabi in the xnested server. If that's an option
for you (it's not for me - I don't have time to install R6), you might
want to give it a try.
