Fluxbox is a window manager, as KWin is one. But fluxbox is a leightweight one, and doesn't come with an entire desktop environment as KDE.
It is possible to run KDE apps in fluxbox, there is even support for a slot section for docked apps. The only downside is that when you start KDE apps DCOP has to be started as well (where it would be already started in KDE I believe) and therefore some KDE apps seem to start up a bit slower then in KDE. But that's really the only downside I found. Bonx On Saturday 03 January 2004 20:19, Steve B. wrote: > Ya know, I have heard a lot about fluxbox.
