FLWM/WM2/WMX: Zijwaarts (686) Release News
It has been cold and rainy here for several days, so I had time to finish my latest release. "Zijwaarts" is Sideways revisited, based on the Spring rev iso upgraded to the 3.14-1 towo 686 kernel, and including the wmx window manager in addition to wm2 and flwm.
Notable features:
* All three window managers have been reconfigured and rebuilt
* Source code, build tools, and libraries are included for all three window managers
* Browsers are w3m, netsurf, and firefox 28
* File managers are mc, ranger, and pcmanfm
* Editors are nano, vim, and leafpad
* weechat is added as an alternate IRC client
* Music players are mocp and cmus
* osd-status script is updated to show song playing in mocp or cmus
* soma fm playlist is included for mocp and cmus (in ~/music)
* man page reader is modified to display README files for wmx and wm2 (they have no man page)
* bbqlogin is modified so you do not have to log out to switch window managers
* bbqlogin runs only on tty1; switch to any other tty for a plain console login
xbindkeys provides consistent keybinds:
ctrl+alt+enter starts a terminal
ctrl+alt+s shows osd-status
ctrl+alt+backspace kills X
alt+F1 runs bbq 9menu
alt+F2 runs user 9menu
alt+F3 runs dmenu
alt+F4 displays window manager docs
See ~/.xbindkeysrc for more keybinds. Read the wm documentation!

Looks to really be a nice release. Well thought out and crafted with a little extra (well, lotta extra) sprinkle of pidsley goodness for good measure. Nice work!
