Well, the WM would run, but you would still need the basics for running any GTK app, Sylpheed, Firefox, you name it. I think this WM, though, is aimed at people who spend most of their time at the CLI, coding, mail, the works. > My problem with the big wm's like kde and gnome is that they guzzle RAM after > that I'm pissed off at having to install all those libraries just to run a > simple program.

And the ease of 'drag and drop' for doing things like creating CD's and the like, you can't deny that. > > > > WMI is highly customizable: it is designed with keyboard users in mind. > > Each action (e.g. resizing the frame, creating a new workspace, launching > > an app, note that WMI provides hundreds of actions) can be bind to a > > shortcut.
