As a second choice I would also submit XFCE. This one takes the pain
out of adding programs to a buttonbar by allowing you to do it
interactively. No editing text files or writing arcane statements.
Clicking to add, remove, rename, etc. Its easy to add icons or change
them also by right clicking on a item and getting a list of things. Get
this... The entire root window, colors, and other stuff is accessible
whilst in the X desktop. You can change things like background, the
color of the buttonbar, and a bunch of other stuff including sound.
Check out XFCE. It compiles only needing the xforms libs. Its at:
http://www.Linux-kheops.com/pub/xfce
Between this one and blackbox, configuration of the X desktop belongs
to the user. One cool feature of blackbox is the way the windows
rollup. One cool feature of XFCE is its gradient window title bars.
