I downloaded the deb with wget. As wget is also in your deb, it wouldn't install. Doesn't really matter for me.
I'll play more, I like these small WM.
Now I have to download a virtual keyboard
Thanks a lot!
Yes I know about wmnet,I am still thinking I can make it work, but just not figured out why its freaking out all the sudden.

Anyway, the libdockapp libs can be installed manually if you like, I will need to update the deb again later.

As root install from root
cd /
sudo tar zxvf /media/mmc1/libda.tgz

Anyone else got any input, I noticed (CTRL-X) in pico does not work, it just opens xterm. hehe

Any other issues, anyone find this useful?

adding applications to the menu is not oo intuitive. Also getting it to display an application list is not apparent. Any guidance would be appreciated. Nice work.

I guess I have to dig out my bluetooth keyboard to use this at least till I get a replacement.

From my use of windowmaker in Linux proper, once you open somethng you will see an icon for it on the lower left. You should be able to drag that over and add it to the dock thing easily, Just a matter of dragging and letting go.

Also there is a windowmaker config tool that should be accessible on the dock by default for most windowmaker startup situations. I don't see it yet.

This is great, though!

Oops, I didn't realize I could just pull the wharf up, so I was just seeing one box. Duh! Windowmaker preferences are the third box down, the one with a screwdriver. Going thru that is essential for figuring out what is going on. You can probably edit the right-click menu from there, if there is a right-click menu!

You should be able to dock things on the paperclip too, by the way. I haven't been able to try that yet.

My Windowmaker preferences selections don't work now, though they did at first, and I can't scroll the preferences bar, though I could at first. Close on the preferences doesn't work now, though the x does. Closing and reopening the preferences doesn't solve any of those problems, though rebooting probably will.

Rebooting gave me access to some of the windows I saw in the screen shots that I hadn't seen the first time! But now it looks like I can't change the preferences on the preferences menu.

Now all the windows I saw have gone away. I don't understand how I am toggling them.

However, I discovered one strange thing.

If I drag one of the Wharf-boxes under the paper clip, it appears to be ready to dock to it, but instead it disappears! Fortunately, rebooting gave me back the original Wharf.

But this is great and could indeed woo me from the Hildon environment.

In regular Window Maker when you want to add something to the Wharf you can just drag it over to the Wharf because there is an automatic icon created on the lower left corner of the screen. How do you add stuff to this Wharf? Or to the clip, for that matter?

I have four workspaces created, and I guess I'll dock things to the clip on all four of them as well as to the one Wharf, which will give me lots of very easily opened programs.

I haven't figured out how to press Enter in xchat from my bluetooth keyboard. I've seen something about this somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

I'm able to dock things in several places now, including on the Wharf.

A Windowmaker FAQ might be nice, and I might put one together myself, if someone doesn't beat me to it.

What are people using for a virtual keyboard? I find the virtual keyboard more convenient than my bt keyboard sometimes.

This rocks. If only I could get Tear to run.
