So you say wmii is bad because it's less work to fiddle around with?
I use it because I like the default configuration better than dwm's.
I run it on old celerons and 64mb ram. Speed is not an issue.

Yes, I use this machine every day for playing music with mpd and light
browsing like gmail with dillo. It is fanless and runs from a DOM. You
naturally avoid flash java scripts, but most sites in the internet
are a waste of time anyway.
I really like my current setup, but I will probably get a

Ideal for what purpose?
Barely anything doesn't carry information if you put it in context
with ideal.
You should have said: Ideal software doesn't suck.

Do you want to tell me that sed, awk and cat is ideal software?
sed is not ideal software for listening to music, is it?

It (might be) ideal software for text modification and regex.
Ideal software doesn't do everything. In fact, it is often suboptimal
software that does everything.

Rob,
Without a real context it is difficult to measure if lack-of-configuration
is laziness on the programmers part, or the genius of simplicity. Simplicity
indicates a programmer who anticipate the needs of the user in such a way
that it removes their constraints and increases performance

Thanks. I just added a focus manager that just makes sure focus is

apps that exit taking focus with them can be
Anyone here try using X11 without a window manager?
Just using Xresources + specific tools: xbindkeys, xdotool, etc... I'm
documenting the setup and adding small tools as needed (x-alt-tab,
