Re: icewm releases

Hi,

Thanks very much! I agree that there is not much need for changes but I
was just concerned that there was a bugfix pre-release and it has been
left at that. So, I wondered if the project was dead. Very glad to know
that it is on auto-pilot.

I like the themes on box-look: especially like IceBuntu, though I will
tweak it some more. (To be fair, I like some of the openbox themes
there also, but it bugs me that aesthetics is viewed as complementary
to performance -- example window decorations.) 

I have been giving pekwm a try, but that is far more touch-and-go, it
appears. (Though to be honest, I am not completely sure if the problem
is that I can not get some configurations there to work.)!

One aspect I would have liked in icewm is the inability to have a dock.
I am not completely sure if I can get around it, but I guess I will look
around. pekwm has a strange docking behavior which puts it in one of the
corners, making it look ugly.

Best wishes,
Ranjan
