I've been using Myth on my dedicated fc1 box for roughly one year now

planning on performing some hardware upgrades to my system and am will
be installing gentoo on my Myth box. I haven't ventured far in the
relm of window managers (I prefer gnome myself) so I was looking for a
recommendation on a lightweight wm that would offer a slight increase
in performance from KDE.
I've seen blackbox and fvwm mentioned in the mythtv.org howto and
would appreciate any more information whether one is preferrable or if
there are other undocumented alternatives. Thank you all for a
wonderful project and community.

Mine is more or less a "settup box," so I don't have a mouse
connected to it. I've found that ratpoision is pretty good to keep things
lightweight while still being able to get at a terminal or run other
things at the same time. If you know how to use 'screen' from the
console, 'ratpoison' works the same way (ctrl-t, [0123] to switch between
window [0123], etc). It automatically fullscreens everything and puts
focus on the top one.
