Another Newbie

Greetings,
I just recently installed AS. It seems to be a great WM, other
than the fact that it is completely confusing to configure. I also have
these problems with sound that others were having in earlier threads.
I have to agree with doug, that there are no good AS newbie help
files. They assume I understand terms like swallowing(which I
don't(unless it's the way Icons slide out from the sides)), Sticky
icons(huh?), and other things.
I have managed to change backgrounds, icons, add icons to the
wharf, and many other things, but I still have questions.
For instance, now when I try to change the background, everything
disappears, and I have to exit via [ctrl]+[alt]+[backspace]. What's up
with that?
Also, I moved my pager to the wharf, but they are stacked one on
top the other. Is there any way to make them slide out like the program
files?
I do not agree completely with Mr. Dunbar. I think the program is
very nice, but could use some work. I have used FVWM, and if all you're
looking for is functionality, then that's the one for you :P I,
however, Think that there is a reason it's called a GRAPHICAL user
interface. I like nice looking customizable WM's.
As for the distribution issue (or non-issue), I personally prefer
Slakware. But the best distribution is the one you're most happy with.
I'm sorry for my long windedness, but it's my first post :) I
would also like to apologize for the stuff that Hotmail is going to add
to the end of this, but it's the only way I can get this post at home
and work.
