Recommended window manager for OpenBSD

2006-05-25 Thread Christopher Nelson
I have personally always liked gnome, but the version in the ports tree is so old and broken that using it is essentially pointless. I was wondering what window manager was recommended for use with OpenBSD 3.9? i.e, one that is reasonably current, and not broken. Thanks! -={C}=-
