Hello,

I'm setting up a Linux lab that will be remotely accessible via
X-Win32.  I was originally planning to use RH9's default Gnome install,
but testing has found it to be too heavy and not quite stable enough. 
(I still get Nautilus crashes, and a user logging into two systems gives
errors about config files being overwritten etc.)

As an alternative to Gnome or KDE, I have been looking into setting the
default WM to one of WindowMaker, IceWM or XFCE.  (3.18) however, it
appears as though none of these follow the freedesktop.org spec for
system menus.  Do any of you know of existing scripts to make use of the
new Gnome Menus (which seem to be generated from /usr/share/applications
files and some other stuff in /etc/X11/desktop-menus.)

Also, I'd be interested in people's opinions on alternate WMs.  The
target audience are undergrad Comp Sci students.  (Who may or may not
have experience with anything other than Windows.)  I'm looking for
easy, familiar, fairly straightforward to do basic configuration, yet
distinct from Windows.

Cheers,

Ben
