It does if you set it to, it's a standard option in flux.

I was using blackbox under 10.4, but haven't been able to get it going completely under 10.5. Main hangup is getting both bbkeys and bbpager working.
One of my strong desires is for a window manager that works well in rootless mode. In particular, it should continue drawing each window (or at least the window's outline) when a window is moved or resized. Does Enlightenment do that?
I recently got fluxbox running in 10.5, but it does not draw the window while moving or resizing.
thanks

I'm using the Enlightenment window manager, as you probably guessed from my previous posts, mainly by force of habit, since 1998. It's been a few years since I explored wm's and I'm not up to date on what's out there today or how this choice might compare. I like Enlightenment because it has many of the more robust workspace GUI features common to full blown wm/workspace programs like Gnome and KDE, without the extra agents and redundant features already available under OS-X. It requires only one fairly lightweight process to run. I like its pagers and workspace GUI.
Enlightenment has no support at all for Spaces, or for auto-arranging windows as far as I know. That would be a great feature of an X11 wm, to use the same O-X Spaces as its X11 pager workspaces. I'm not a big fan of Spaces personally. I'm happy that Apple is making workspace management available, but Spaces lacks many features that I liked in non-Apple workspace programs under 10.4, such as VirtueDesktops. (Ideally, I would want the X11 wm to use OS-X Spaces as its workspaces; I would like to see Spaces offer good pagers like Enlightenment; and to offer the switching features of Compiz Fusion, I know thats a long way off)
Enlightenment and Eterm were easy for me to compile under 10.5. They integrate well with each other. Admittedly a little dated.

Just for the sake of curiosity:
what window manager do you use in Xquartz?
I mostly use Gimp in Xquartz and had better feeling with metacity than
quartz-wm but it had some issues in Exposé window switching so I
dropped it in favor of quartz-wm, but I'm curious what other people use.
By the way is there a window manager that autoarrange windows so they
don't overlay?
Andrea
