How download revolution 2.9 beta ?

[Peter Alcibiades]

OK, tried it on Fluxbox - exact same thing.  Second blank window, and the 
download never completes, or if it completes, it doesn't move to the next 
stage.  So this is a completely different window manager, the same display 
manager however (wdm).  Can't really see how it could be the display manager.  
Using xfe as the file manager and starting it through a double click.  Cannot 
be Gnome therefore.

Tried it on Ion2 also, with the interesting result that Rev will not run at 
all.  Or it seems to run to some extent but it sort of flickers and scrolls 
so it doesn't really run.  So this shows that Rev still likely isn't handling 
XWindows properly. 

Ion2 is a minimalist and eccentric desktop, there is no particular reason why 
Rev should work with it, just that it is standards based, and everything else 
does.  It is a tiling window manager.  

This is probably connected to Rev's insistence on not using multiple desktops, 
because Ion tries to put every window into a separate pane.  Whether this is 
right or wrong, its standards based, and so Rev really ought to work with it 
out of the box.
