And here I thought I was the only fvwm user around...


Desktop distro: mostly Debian; also using Arch as a remote 'desktop' in a vm

Window manager: fvwm for 15? yrs?; very minimalist but lots of virtual desktops

Browser: varies w/ use case - iceweasel/firefox, w/ a little chrome and some links2, elinks, lynx

Click-to-focus for me, when given a choice.

later!
