There are so many other WMs. It all depends on how you work.
And, you can run some toolbars/docks, iconifying program, pretty
much any X application, whatever, on just about anything --
"tools, not policy" after all.
Greg Lehey, for example, states (~to the effect of~) "I'm not into
eye candy", and runs something rather simple (twm? fvwm?) that's
all configured exactly the way he wants it across several monitors,
at rather/very high resolution(s). He either has great eyesight,
or has good glasses, I guess (and it's pure speculation and
nothing personal at all) because he works surrounded by words,
words, and more words, I suppose, whether it's code, mail, whatever.
Hi Kevin,
It is interesting you said that, I never heard that one before, but I am the same way. The VM that I use on my systems is tvm. It is fast and frankly all the wm does is make it so you don't have to remember to type "firefox &" when you want to start firefox.

I think he posted to this thread yesterday (with an altered title) and stated he uses fvwm2. I'm pretty sure it's all on his website at lemis.com. "Not much for eye candy" is a personal preference that I can understand --- it's just not for me, I guess, at this stage in my development.
But it would be cool to have 5 monitors .... :)
Do you mean "tvm"? I don't find it. Maybe "twm", or "tvtwm"?
