thanks, I'll try this later.

I got it to make it work by reading this tutorial:

http://xwinman.org/basics.php

I was trying to start it from command line with "karmen", aparently I
should instead create a script and call "startx". Shoud it work with
only karmen?

X.org 6.9
and Karmen 0.7

How did you learn how to develop karmen? I can't find any tutorials or
something similar around the net about developing window managers.

I am interrested myself in writting a simple Window Manager. I noticed
noone has yet created a WM in Object Pascal, so I will try to do the
first =)

My experience with X is limited to writting a component for the
Lazarus IDE that creates System Tray icons.

thanks,
