JSBach's questions

Last weekend I installed awesome WM and I really think this name is a fair one, this WM is really awesome. I liked how it felt efficient and customizable. I did not do anything special but I had the feeling I could be very efficient using it. After some hours tweaking it (theming, some keyboard shortcuts and things like this), I found out that many "basic" things was not provided out of the box:

• Multiple screen support (one should use arand to configure it and then import in the rc file)
• My keyboard screen brightness keys should be configured
• My keyboard media control keys were not configured
• A shutdown button in the ui And probably some other things that I did not have time to find out (I don't understand why Gnome is able to provide it out of the box and awesome WM is not).

I would not like to invest my time setting up things that are already provided somewhere else, therefore I ask: is there any WM that provides you more of-the-shelve basic features, but allow you more customization options than gnome? Something between awesome WM and gnome?

Thanks!

I just bought a Lenovo USB 3.0 Docking Station. It works with my keyboard, but not with the monitors: ubuntu just does no recognize the external monitors when I connect them.

Sorry for the lack of details, I am a newbie and I really do not know where to look for. It would be really good if anyone can help me with that.

thanks

I have three scripts I need to run when I start up my Ubuntu machine, they start services I use in my development environment.

To do that, I manually open three terminals and type in the commands.

Is there any way to create a script that will open three terminals and execute one command in each of these? (Each command should be in a separate terminal window so I can see their output).
