Re: Xephyr another interesting feature
In Fatdog, OpenBox with LXQT panel, where that panel is set to be at the bottom of screen, with a 1366x768 laptop, connected to a 1920x1080 HDMI, when I launch Xephyr it grabs the full combined screen area, as though a 1366+1920 wide, 1080 height screen, when Xephyr is set to 'fullscreen'. That can ...

Re: Comparing aufs vs overlay

Re: Swap partition slowing down the computer.
Hi. I have 4GB of RAM and also 4GB of Swap partition. As soon as the swap partition starts to be used, the computer slows down. The more the swap is in use, the more the computer is getting slower. What am I doing wrong? Should I deactivate the Swap partition? What will happen, if RAM is filled up ...

Re: aufs vs overlay
Overlay won't add and remove layers after boot like aufs will, so you wouldn't be able to load and unload sfs files on the fly. If/when the likes of brtfs (that uses copy on write, snapshots, compression etc) commonly supersedes ext then a btrfs device mounted with compression and populated, which ...

Re: fatdog-control-panel.sh : default window open position

That's not good. If the control panel icon in the bottom tray is clicked then yes, --mouse will have just the to...

On a panning window system the window does not open near the mouse but instead more often will be 'off screen' (out of view).

A couple of issues I've noticed with twm is that if you suspend (close laptop lid) its good practice to first switch to another tty (such as ctrl-alt-F2) before closing the laptop lid, and then ctrl-alt-F4 back to the gui after you open the laptop lid and press enter to restore from suspend.
