From 8f5609f46c11012fd7d055f54ed0b1f862d0fa50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Carlos R. Mafra" Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2012 15:27:59 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Typical user question answered on features.php I know this is not really the place to have such an answer, but this question (and its assumed negative answer by many new users) is so frequently associated with users switching back to KDE or whatever that I felt like giving some visibility to the correct answer would do some good. --- essential_dockapps.png | Bin 0 -> 2687 bytes features.php | 21 ++++++++++++++++++++- links.php | 4 ++++ 3 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 essential_dockapps.png diff --git a/essential_dockapps.png b/essential_dockapps.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..fec24f282add07b40aa80ff4f87e5f33b8f0eb11 GIT binary patch literal 2687 zcwPa23V`*AP)>F)3n3tc5a*Bc%gG`jL`WBk7xGQm)8(G@H;Ku>L+_`hh<62;AYHIq$t`FG9qNtdR zR5Ugk#du)f-MxFaOkVj~B9ZXqXwV>u4R`2tJ-0fwXo-_Pbs}}3h0np}tYSXf zekFCFrE6YYYW*hXtNm}JI(q(VzDAl(Q8Ao4Q9LlGPNaZT=anvZ4qvN_E0Zc5cuzYl$5Trz z<7a$qctad+35jB$5|W6DtCiZ<$d_?=q@ogPiDmpS_z4$m-3Z0TR#63W%~br}f-l4m zG)|oWJsvD)^H#V;l`7N{g$FiS2@=BoH>9=Xy$cKgG`cnX-gjRFAuTN}gy4_O8|W%t z$?HZ_Q`4?r9tM!jX0LWxTP$L&3cvjdBOW zbq=JCv6-qc8r*qY`MfI4G)`5n5D$G%6`B=8oIi(F&bZi6ltNfH6pIa@c+R16Y-r+4 zrC@AGW-8?vJm$W@0}x`D)t^xsw;3s1t1PQOqqGQ1ao1Z_GEH;MRK;t?W%a5w(=-jP z375OLT~^0RFv{RvH@FM*su*S9H|pF?hBEq9l2HbCY$zxy%AmZc3Jm`jRb`kaOt@-_ z$~)nzC@RXJDZl(t2F-OTx+toSj*fDA7uYC+``#ZXs^7kr8Qnd0u5}@&kn-mE)p1Fm ztq&T@ksxk*s=~xPuM;s?`|TuU>5&+hQFZ z9nOHbZko9S0{|^)@4fVUv7Ik(-SN^-Mr<>9v5t-oM`N0gr~-PnreO{L@o@TZz>2(` zJ$H8Df`y|iP+;&E)rjU{kmihNXV0Czmty>8#8*^7{9_|P%ZMe18KQs;tgviMgjIYL zqQa;~fVnk_DjpKaDqgCnAPhxGws671Qb{DEp%u4=Ba2EDhEzhOhImON(kL%5csA;R zMJ0MXx@l_oIcmgW{AOg7q8gpw!Ceeipg7^mMfKXQ-8)|%wg3vE4lXyt?c8T<&{sntN7*HN)Re4DXryY_@a%n;Sj%#T8=!2#p1u$58S84Qij0 z_c!?a;;J(6qoFW^H#Pz?RM*_DnKob()47P^^P9Hc-!pOGMm$soNZ;QWaU3Qm`&X@A zGoyB9RaI3yUR4#Zip64vk;@r5!^q`wEMfHZ^&UIgI&fopcnt2XVPFPAh-n(hn&j*i z+vy7GHWH0QXnU4T{_>~Irj-wuL352p3GrZAmStN2YUeGnZ8D`gF=JZwzy8xdbSFQ* zZrc6RCz+OQmbsiu<_t4um;fT0W?5F)43NLS z;ZBzn36^OXByQLwXVM3nG>NFjn!zn9pLi%W5;{LFUV+s#Se6wkgXcPxZ%kX3W!pA@ zeBQDNiRoJJjiH;jay8WnJ*xFwAM`}RXPMuarkOYM`MlBH-A#xVHUorp!^_~zOO^#7 zkw`=$k$BaFfuY>=sWsE5Ot_P`^QPsAgl*fmu_mL@*qx!NVKcxtHVOY=){NSP9(5r z%$Nb-+O=zXRDby4IbUAzsK^%18|FWP9j{*EDE@ddBK+hkp{QIxlf7(Px z1^^y|uE#fQT=&d(*4U;!I5c$n^xrREy6iNqCkV0WCMQ$|ctTvtkoW?b|5!ek&)0tG zi``crdN2KM_tl>JXV&)g_SqKE^~lm?Ph`(uxO@T0X_M=pT=9qO->83vF&^XK!SEf2 z$;n%(2j|4}=-pgy&Yal*9(iQGVHk^-d@ZKOZr{GmMZyFBIMW-%^|57uuxYxL zzW1jngXY3en1RDkm%;Z@d$kx!6jkLi1Q%5WGXxe@r85K(RmC&7Vnba9cZjRYAbHeY zK?Z+ODaIfbm1+!{L{thg2%=Jz!95y^GI%FkMHyVNp)x~>qN+>=+M494=;OzCiyr&g z(r-LJh74_OjRkAF-%T?1%NH?uY(g~Odrr&;fOEniX51Hd0s&qwL; z7UO|u;J=X0ORQ^8X`il(wR~R+(xE@w@GLzf^Z@A4#SThkpa;)yZe?A=J?1)e-V?4V z|2-8uBqmJ0T0jP>sP?wK(s?P+j_21J^ZQk$&WzaoY0}75(`7p4VS_Despite all of these features, Window Maker is not resource intensive and remains stable across many UNIX varients.

Very frequent asked question

Essential dockapps
wmvolman and wmsystemtray with nm-applet
+ +

Can I easily mount my external drives or connect to the internet with Window Maker?

+

Yes, you can. Mounting external media is not the problem of a window manager to solve, but + a tipical Window Maker user can mount external media just as easily as any other desktop user. + You just need to use a dockapp like wmvolman or + wmudmount and you are just a click away to + having your external media mounted on /media/VOLUME_LABEL.

+ +

And you can just as easily manage your network connections using the standard nm-applet running + inside a system tray on your dock. See for example the excellent wmsystemtray.
