Oh, that brings back memories. Back when I was using Fvwm (this was in
2001, and I continued to use Fvwm for quite a while after that) I was a
beta tester for Pan. Being at the bleeding edge, I wound up having to
build Gnome from source every once in a while. And I was on dialup.
Actually, once I finally got the first build done, it wasn't too
difficult to keep up with changes, and I wasn't doing nightly CVS builds
either. (I mean of Gnome -- I was doing CVS builds of Pan.)
