XFce

[Greg Hamilton]

OK, it compiled and installed without a problem. It looks really good.

It's not as quick as Blackbox, but it looks much nicer with it's 
anti-aliased fonts and such. Starts much faster than KDE and Gnome, 
uses GTK+ so it looks very Gnomish and the apps I tend to use work a 
treat.

I really like the default window manager. I haven't checked to see what 
it is yet, but it has a couple of configuration options that are 
missing from Metacity, the Gnome default. Rubber-banding on window 
resizing and moving for example, really good on a slow box. Must try 
the window manager with Gnome.

Haven't seen Fluxbox in action yet.
