+When you load up GNOME, you will notice that its interface is sober but well
+designed: the GNOME menu limits itself to the tools you'll most likely use
while
+hiding the rest of the tools that probably confuses most of the users anyway.
+The window decoration is simple, but gives a nice finished look. Configuration
+options are limited at first sight and very easy to comprehend. Real
+configuration gurus know that GNOME has a very extended configuration model,
but
+it is hidden from the interface because most users wouldn't need it anyway.

+The fluxbox window manager began its life as a spin-off of the blackbox window
+manager. When you install fluxbox, you'll notice that it is a <e>lot</e> faster
+than desktop environments. This of course isn't only true for fluxbox but for
+most other window managers: their job is a lot simpler (in size) than those of
a
+desktop environment.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+fluxbox offers the user with a simple interface for window managing, yet
+supports everything (and more) you require: we aren't talking about window
+minimalization and maximalization here (of course fluxbox supports that) but
+about tabbed windows, stickyness, virtual desktops, hotkeys, ...
