This is why I suggested that the other person (I can't find his name
right now) consult me before writing docs or a presentation. Every
single problem anyone could have about Windowmaker, I've had. If he can
explain it to *me*, that explanation will work for *everybody*, and the
great nature of Windowmaker will shine through. We all know it's good
looking, we all know that it's very lightweight: What's needed is a
good document to really explain the Windowmaker philosophy, how to do
things in Windowmaker, how to configure it so you don't need to
create a million menus to drill down, and how you set a hotkey to
perform an arbitrary command (like dmenu_run).
