Hey Stephane-
Thanks for your help. I still haven't figured out #2 (and comments for
3)... Andy

I've got the reloading figured out. When I comment out the buttons I don't
want in my "look" file as below and reload
# TitleButtons : [1] [3] [5] [7] [9] (title) [0] [8] [6] [4] [2]
#
#TitleButton 1 as-switchwindow-a.xpm as-switchwindow-a-pressed.xpm
TitleButton 2 as-kill.xpm as-kill-pressed.xpm
TitleButton 3 as-menu-a.xpm as-menu-a-pressed.xpm
#TitleButton 4 as-shade-a.xpm as-shade-a-pressed.xpm
TitleButton 6 as-iconize.xpm as-iconize-pressed.xpm
#
I get this strange error: "AfterStep: Old 10x10 button styles should not be
used" and X/Afterstep craps out, sending me back to text mode.
How do I get rid of those buttons? Am I missing something else? Is it
possible to do it in this version?

I didn't realize when I wrote this that there are 4 _different_ pagers, not
4 sections in one. Because I had wharfed mine, I only saw the 4 sections of
one pager. I found the DeskTopSize setting in the base.XXbpp files. I
guess I have three pagers that won't be used, but that's okay.

Thanks for the link... giving that one a try. Andy
