I use fvwm. This allows far more control: for example, see here for window decorations: http://www.twobarleycorns.net/fvwm-decors.html Here is a mac osxy look and feel using fvwm: http://www.guistyles.com/wp-gallery/fvwmmilk2ny.jpg A bit snow blindingly white, but it has decent aesthetics. Here are some screen shots: http://fvwm.org/screenshots/desktops/ Here is where you see a tutorial to create bouncing docks, all by yourself: http://www.zensites.net/fvwm/guide/advanced_buttons.html Here is a tutorial: http://www.zensites.net/fvwm/guide/index.html You get to create gestures, and bind them to keys, and with fvwm-themes it is themable, it can be extended, and you can use perl functions to add to fvwm. All in all, I would say while heavy customization takes time, you can rarely get this level of control elsewhere. manoj -- The solution of this problem is trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.
