It doesn't have as many features as, say... KDE or Gnome, but it is light, and as I said, simple - in a positive way. Now I'm using fvwm (Blackbox stopped working after an upgrade of X stuff). It is pretty good, IMHO, but to make it function as you want it, means text editor and *lots and lots* of configuring. Still, I find it worth the fuss. It is light and simple, as well. FVWM has more features than Blackbox, and as I said, you can make it look and work just the way you want - but it requires lots of tweaking around the rc file. IceWm is also worth of trying, if you want light-weight and simple window damager. Although, it looks too much like Win9x, so I didn't like it. :-P Anyway, these are my two cents. I don't have any experience whatsoever about KDE or Gnome as a window manager, so I know nothing about them. The wm's I mentioned, I have found good for my use. YMMV. -- Jussi Ekholm, "Everything is so fine it could be little, ill flower don't let your mind take you in misery [EMAIL PROTECTED] all the feelings you're not so much pleased http://goa-head.org/ekhowl they're just to take you to sweet harmony"
