Aloha all,

See email below for some new stuff for the gecko session. New flat screens
in control room, so new window manager too.

Let me know if that introduced new bugs :-)

Hello -

  The "go 09" problem has been fixed. Part of the problem was
  that the gecko session didn't have the "nexp" command at all.
  It does now. There are some other things to note for tonight:

  o "maka" is now where neptune's monitors were. Windows may not
    come up in ideal places at the moment, but with the new setup,
    it is possible to drag a window onto any monitor. Hold down
    "Alt" while clicking to drag a window like the "psm" which has
    no title bar. (Things should be exactly like they were on ike.)

  o The gecko session has been changed from fvwm1 to fvwm2.

    - The new version recognizes the splits between the screens,
      and will avoid putting windows there.
    - It has other little conveniences, like being able to
      click anywhere inside a window to raise it, rather than
      having to go find the title bar.

    If this causes problems, I will change it so fvwm2 is used only
    when logging in on maka. Please let me know if you find an
    X-Terminal where you think fvwm2 may be a problem.

Be seeing you,

- Sidik
