Well no shit. Window Maker is a WINDOW MANAGER ONLY. Gnome is a DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT with lots of stuff in addition to a window manager. I swear the number of people who continue to confuse this is so irritating. BTW I usually use Window Maker as well.
Read the article. After many requests, the Yopy is switching from W to X, and also to the 2.4 kernel. Also, only a developer version has been released. The final consumer version is expected in October. Yeah we've heard that before...
What I am sick of is so many people seem to think that KDE and GNOME are "window managers". THEY AREN'T! KDE and GNOME are much more, they include window managers, but they also provide dozens of programs, a progamming api to write gui programs, a consisent look and feel to programs written for them, and interfaces to do things like drag and drop between these programs, among other things. Enlightment and Blackbox provide an interface to how you handle windows, and that's about it. GNOME and KDE provide an APPLICATION interface as well.
Don't get me wrong, I use Window Maker myself, cuz it just rocks, but some people just seem to miss this point.
