Do you have 'thumbnails' turned off? Yup, but it's better now. I was doing a bunch of stuff before, and that's what slowed it down. Compiling apps and copying stuff from cd to hd and having 10 xterms, 4 rox windows, mcc, mail, news and xmms running has a tendency to slow things down just a touch. > Meanwhile, I grabbed fbdesk from a 'contrib' mirror.

I heard it wasn't very functional from a few posts on the fluxbox list IIRC. I tried idesk, which worked well, but was a pain because you had to manually create entries for each icon you wanted. And you had to double-click to start an app. I hate double-clicking. The only "extras" I use are the artwiz fonts and the remember patch. I'm considering the one that lets you manage workspaces (as in different wallpaper per space etc.), but I'm not sure it's something I really need. One thing from fluxbox I really missed when using KDE was the ability to change desktops using the wheel. And I didn't like that apps from different desktops stayed in the taskbar (minimized or not) so clicking them would bring them up in any desktop. I've just about got everything back to how I like it ;) Todd
