Hey I tried fvwm, but.....
I'm to lazy to configure it, but I liked
the slide in function that when you mouse over an edge of the screen
a program of choice pops out.
Can you do that in other WM?
Openbox?

But can they be called with by the mouse moving to the edge of the screen? He wasn't asking for a drop down terminal ....

Bet it'd be a fun weekend project for a bored coder:D

True. Didn't pay attention to that.
Not sure if anything does the trick right now. My instinct tells me to get rid of the mouse when using such terminals...

Agree.. Why use mouse to activate the terminal, when you afterwards uses the keyboard to *use* the terminal. Why not just activate it with a keyboard shortcut, like Tilda.

Pekwm can do that.

It seems like it should be possible in Compiz since you can activate various plugins by moving the mouse to the screen edge. Not exactly sure how one would do so though (or even if it actually is possible).
After a little more thinking, I believe you could kind of do it in a hackish way with Openbox (and probably other window managers). Leave a couple pixels open at the edge of the screen and create a mouse hotkey to launch a terminal (or whatever program it is you want). Like ...
<mouse>
<context name="Desktop">
<mousebind button="Left" action="DoubleClick">
xterm
</mousebind>
</context>
</mouse>
This should (theoretically) launch xterm if you double click the left button on the desktop.

I'd be interested in a more elegant solution.

thanks, sorry for not answering before.
Looking more into it it looks like mousing over and going back to the keyboard
is not as productive as a keyboard shortcut...
hmm, but thats a whole lot of options!!

You don't get that in FVWM by default.
