Gentlemen,
I use xfce, it's fine, but I want something lighter. All I really want
is the xfwm part of it, and even that window manager has its defects. I
have dual monitors, and I can't drag anything between monitors. I hate
trying to configure things using those stupid pop up dialogue boxes.
I'd like text configuration files that I can edit, save, backup and restore.
Awesome seems well spoken of. What can you guys tell me? I can't think
what to specifically ask. It would be nice if it worked sensibly out of
the box. I don't need fancy effects. I want windows on screens that I
can resize, maximize, minimize, etc. Nice if they snap to borders to
avoid wasted space. Xfce gives normally six or so desktops than you can
change to, that's good. The mouse has to work. I need custom keyboard
shortcuts. Basically nothing strange. I don't want to have to spend six
months learning Lua. I want a simple, predictable, configurable WM that
is usable but doesn't bother me with bells and whistles.
Advice?
