If the shoe fits, it must be the fellow you stole it from. XFCE is a solid WM. I've used it before and been quite happy. Especially with KDE gone nutty and Gnome's newfound schizophrenia, XFCE has been a total godsend. I also suggest at least giving LXDE a spin. It's small, simple, and a lot of the behaviors suck, but it has three things going for it: 1) It knows exactly what it wants to be. 2) It wants to be really, really small. 3) It wants to be really, really stable. 4) Anything that it doesn't want can take a hike. Good to hear you found a WM that you're enjoying though! -- Registered Linux Addict #431495 For Faith and Family! | John 3:16! fsdev.net | 0x5f3759df.org | chrismiller.at -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
