I recently switched to Sawfish from FVWM after recently switching from Vim to Emacs. :) I use conky for system stats and cairo-compmpr for compositing and cairo-dock for the task bar, system tray and pager. Oh, and colortail for viewing system logs in a transparent Eterm. It looks nice and has transparency but it is a little buggy sometimes. -- Ben Kibbey -- Sawfish ML
