yeah, i thought it would save window positions, but unfortunately it didnt.

after trying the default theme, i tried nonstep, i dont know if it uses vwm, probably does, all i got was a wallpaper withn no bars so couldnt really do much from there.

can you recommend a simple theme that might work?

also, i've never used any other virtual desktop manager, or shell replacement programs

i'm going to try to install this on my flatmate's pc, i'll let you know if the same thing happens or not. it it works there, i shuold be able to trace back the problem, but any hints you could give me will be very helpful.

a few questions, might not be relevant but who knows: how much does litestep interact with system files? does it make a difference if my windows drive is E:?

anyway i'm off to bed for now, so i won't be able to check back until tomorrow.

thanks for the replies so far, i hope i can get this resolved :)
