x-windows opening up too large

[Harold L Hunt II]

JS,

No, sorry, I can't recommend a window manager.

As I have said before, I am a terrible X Window System user.  I just 
happen to be able to understand how to implement the X Server and how to 
get everything compiled and packaged.

You will have to hope that someone else can answer your question about 
which window manager to use.

Just as a side note: You can stick with the TWM window manager that is 
installed with the XFree86-bin package, or you can install lesstif which 
includes the MWM window manager, or you can install the openbox window 
manager.  All of these are available as Cygwin setup.exe packages. 
There may be one or two that I am forgetting as well.
