I just recently went back to WindowMaker after about a year in Ximian/GNOME
world.  It's a great setup (for me, at least) and is not a hog in memory
like GNOME is.  Just I still have GNOME libs installed to run Evolution and a
few other GNOME apps that I like.

But, since I last used WindowMaker, they seemed to have taken away the
WMPrefs app.  What is now the "official" WM configuration program
(besides "vi on the config files =)?

That's a really, really good idea . . . .
