XFCE4 is definitely my second fav to Pek. If only it had autoprops/autogrouping, I would be *so* there. I've even been known to use XFCE4 with Pek as my WM.

(grin) Pffffft! yerself. It's 'missing' a lot, that's for sure, in the sense that it is almost as minimalist as something like Oroborus. That's what I like, though, minimalist. XFCE4 is definitely the best Desktop Environment, bar none. It has everything a newb could want, plus a lot the power user could need, except the autoprops/autogrouping...oh, and the scriptable/dynamic menus. Can XFCE do this?: http://www.freeyourmachine.org/menu.png I can access any file in my home dir from the root menu with two clicks. ...and there's a *lot* more: http://wiki.pekwm.org/index.php/CategoryMenuScripts Heh, I bet the OP never thought he'd start a WM/DE war ;-) -- JoeHill / RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 22:07:23 up 86 days, 21:57, 5 users, load average: 0.09, 0.06, 0.01 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "It is not anti-Semitic to criticize the policies of the state of Israel." -- Colin Powell
