Many people say fluxbox here, but you should also have a look at openbox (http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Main_Page) which is very similar but seems to integrate better into freedesktop.org standards. I use openbox because it gives me the speed and configurability of fluxbux while all the automagic things (suspend-keys, volume-keys, powermanagement, plasmoids, ...) that hal and kde4 bring still work. But maybe the latest version of fluxbox also does that..? I have not checked on it for a while. cheers Thomas -- Thomas Kahle The fundamental theorem of algebra is open source. Like any other mathematical theorem it can be applied free of charge and everybody has access to its proof and can convince himself how it works. Why should software be any different?
