[comp.windows.x] Overlapping Window Managers for Andrew

tom@ICASE.EDU (Tom Crockett) (02/21/89)

We've recently started using Andrew and have been generally pleased with it.
However, not everyone likes tiled window managers (myself included, although
cwm does have some nice features.)

I've been using awm instead and haven't had any noticeable problems, except
that a lot of the fancy things Andrew does with the cwm titlestripe aren't
available under awm.  I'm just wondering whether twm (or something else) would
buy me anything I don't already have with awm?

Has anyone tried running Andrew with both awm and twm?  If so, which of these
overlapping window managers seems the most compatible with Andrew and cwm?  Are
there other overlapping window managers which might be a better choice than
either of these?  I'd be interested in any comments people might have regarding
the choice of window managers for Andrew.
