can DesktopX use bandVWM?
Thursday, October 31, 2002 by KenLin | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
moshi mentioned in another thread that frogboy had told him that desktopx could make use of bandvwm. I don't see any way to do this, but maybe someone else can shed some light on this for me?

well, that may be well and good, but I've been using Alt-Desk for a long time and...well, you should check it out. It does pretty much everything a VWM should do.

yea, But I've already paid for desktopx and bandvwm. I'd rather not buy a third program that supposedly the first two already have.

hopefully it's obvious what that second sentence was trying to say.

I've never had any luck with VWM. I lost windows all over the place. Alt-Desk has never given me any problems. It's well worth the money.

i don´t think something so basic as a VWM should be payware. if you are using WindowsXP you could still get Microsoft´s free Power Toys. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp look for deskman.exe
LiteStep´s ckvwm module is free, does not loose windows, has an easy option to set windows sticky to all desktops and comes with an easy to understand documentation ... (sorry i just could not resist )
