[comp.windows.x] Icon Manager on OLWM?

km@mathcs.emory.edu (Ken Mandelberg) (10/15/90)

After using the xview olwm for a while, what I miss most from twm is some
form of icon management. My desktop easily gets cluttered with windows that
cover each other and the icons along the edge. I find myself forever pushing
windows to the back, hunting for a particular covered window or icon.

Twm's icon manager works reasonably well, as does NeXTstep's sliding dock.
I don't know what if anything Motif does.

Is anyone (Sun?) working on new features for olwm? Its really a bit too sparse
as is.
