That is a w9wm preferences problem. Not a AntiX problem.

I am not w9wm savvy. Not trying to be hard on you. I just do not know. __{{emoticon}}__

man w9wm:
w9wm is a window manager for X which attempts to emulate the window management policies of Plan 9's 8-1/2 window manager but adds some candy stuff like virtual screens and keyboard shortcuts.

The -grey option makes the background light grey, as does 8-1/2. Use this option for maximum authenticity. -font fname sets the font in w9wm's menu to fname, overriding the default. -nokeys option inhibits keyboard shortcups (Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab) -nostalgia applies some useless modifications to w9wm look & feel (windows border and cursor appearance) -debug triggers debug mode -pass uses click-to-focus-passes-through-click, which means that clicking on a nonactive window with whatever mouse button activates it and follows click to this window -term termprog specifies an alternative program to run when the New menu item is selected. -virtuals n set the number of virtual screens used -version prints the current version on standard error, then exits.

To make w9wm exit, you have to run w9wm exit on the command line. There is no ``exit'' menu item.

w9wm -term evilvte ???

If me

Code: Select all

sudo updatedb
wait for it to finish updating my data base

Code: Select all

locate w9wm
then look for where my config files for w9wm are at. Bearing in mind that I will make a backup of any original config files before making any changes. One thing I might explore is changing a hotkey for evilvte. But like I said. This is unknown turf for me.

Not a lot there. So time to roll up your sleeves and unpack some readme files from /usr/share copied into ~/Documents and see what they have to say.
