You asked for it, you got it...... ;)
Packages for both available on my server:
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rule/RPMS/
icewm-1.2.7-2RULErh8.0.i386.rpm
icewm-l10n-1.2.7-2RULErh8.0.i386.rpm
icewm-themes-1.2.7-2RULErh8.0.i386.rpm
icewm-1.2.7-2RULErh8.0.src.rpm
qvwm-1.1.12-1RULErh8.0.i386.rpm
qvwm-1.1.12-1RULErh8.0.src.rpm
Both require imlib, and icewm requires libungif, both found on CD1 for Red
Hat 9. The above packages were built on a Red Hat 8.0 system, but will
work on Red Hat 9.
My Red Hat 9 system is currently reinstalling due to a hard drive
failure... Once it's back up and running, I'll rebuild specifically for
RH9.
qvwm has animated desktop icons. I haven't looked to see if it is
configurable. I find the icons exceptionally annoying.
Both window manages have a task bar that is similar to windows 95/98.
To use either on a slinky TinyX system, add a line to ~/.xinitrc,
commenting out the existing window manager.
Like so:
- ----------------------------
# exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox
# exec /usr/bin/icewm
exec /usr/bin/qvwm
- ----------------------------
Let me know what you think.
