Ion is a powerfull window manager, but the main issue of this WM is the configuration. We have already chat a little w/ Ian about this. While browsing the web, I discover this post on IBM Network.
So now, Ion is really fine, and IBM provide a nice doc :)
I still like Ion, but the keyboard focus problems it has with Firefox have been killing me. Sigh…
You use Ion or Ion2 ? I use Ion2 on my gateway, I have similar troubles w/ Ion1 but I don’t remember this on the 2. (but haven’t run firefox on this box)
On my current laptop, I now use xfwm4. This is pretty kool too.. :)
