Thanks for the information Eric,

My one experience with the manager was a few minutes of playing with it, 
and I have not read any documentation, so I suppose there are other 
things I missed as well.

The downside for me was not with the manager itself, but the excessive 
resource usage by X when handling the Mac Os X-like graphics. Must be a 
bug somewhere on my Linux box.
