I'm surprised at the footprint of evilwm (217MB/62MB), as shown in the htop window here:<p><a href="http://awesome.naquadah.org/w/images/6screenshot.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://awesome.naquadah.org/w/images/6screenshot.jpg</a><p>I had always assumed it was pretty lean. I use evilwm, and on my system it weighs in at 32MB/2.2MB (virtual/resident).<p>What does awesome bring to the table that minimal WMs like ratpoison and evilwm do not?<p>(Not trying to get into a WM pissing match. I'm genuinely curious.)
I know this isn't necessarily a case, especially considering this is from a mailing list, but just like with the Enlightenment post a couple of days ago - how about some screenshots? A human-formatted "What's new" page?
Yes, it's open source, there's no marketing effort, etc., but it would still be cool if I could see it and learn about it without giving up hours of my time.
Does anyone know if Awesome has a one-workspace-per-monitor option yet? That's one of the things that drew me to xmonad instead. When you have multiple monitors, being able to change the workspace on each one individually is very useful.
