Uh ... how about, whoever is having crashes? No need to take 
everything personally--this is a mailing list, after all.

Who says it's a possible solution for me? ;-)) Just in case anybody's 
interested, I've tried just about every window manager there is, and 
I don't much care for either IceWM or Fvwm. IceWM's look and feel is 
too much like Windows (and no, that's not knee-jerk anti-MSism: I 
started disliking the Windows GUI long before I started disliking 
Microsoft). Fvwm is just ... I dunno, clunky. In any case, I doubt 
the WM is at fault. Partly because I've tried several other window 
managers on the evil machine, and I don't remember anything being 
different. Partly because I use Window Maker, and while I'm sure it 
has a bug or two, it's generally quite stable and fairly lightweight. 
Partly because this machine also has some other hardware-related 
quirks, such as APM being really flaky.

None of which is very important--just had to rant a little. Thanks 
for listening.
