Thanks andrewb. I was hoping someone had this and had tested it. I will code for such target!

A symbolic link for 5.8 pointing to 5.8.0 seems to work.

Yes, indeed there was a missing link in 4.1.

Thanks again for your report.

Just did frugal install of DSL 4.1.

Robert, will you please consider rebinding the default command keys (Ctrl) to something that won't clobber standard keyboard commands? The window manager gets ctrl-v, the common paste command (not to mention Ctrl-x, s, and c -- x=cut, c=copy in many apps -- which are also kind of helpful in emacs/zile as well as other applications). Changing it to ctrl-shift- should do the trick for most people.

Edit: I bind ctrl-alt r to restart jwm. Not sure if that would be helpful or not to include.

Sure. Post your keybindings here and lets get comments from those who do use JWM. Some may not like to press three keys. Personally I don't use JWM so I have no preference. I am open to what the community would like as the default.

I'll spare you my full list of bindings because I don't use a mouse on my laptop or P200. You also added a redundant call for the root:1 menu (alt-f1 is default, you added ctrl-z) and windows close on alt-f4 (so the x binding is also redundant). I use different bindings for window control tasks (alt-f2 also gives the window control menu), but these are the ones in 4.1 that clobber applications:

Code Sample

<Key mask="SC" key="s">shade</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="x">close</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="m">maximize</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="v">minimize</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="d">desktop</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="b">resize</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="n">move</Key>


<Key mask="CA" key="r">restart</Key>
<Key mask="CA" key="Return">exec:aterm</Key>
<Key mask="CA" key="v">exec:aterm -T "vim" -e vi</Key>

FWIW, JWM is very mouseless-friendly with one notable exception: minimized windows get left out of the toggling in alt-tab and require a mouse to unminimize.
