I use ion3 as my wm, made my own skin for it. Most of the time I'm
running Mozilla Firefox, Pidgin, XChat.

There I'm running:
galculator | leafpad | Mozilla Firefox
----------------------
mpdfind | xterm |

xchat
Obviously not my usual layout. I have key bindings for much of those apps:
F2, xterm
F3, run
F4, galculator
F5, leafpad
F6 + file name, leafpad <file>
F7 + file name, mplayer <file>
<Ctrl> + <Alt> + J, mpdfind (let's me select a file to play with mpc,
pretty cool)
<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <End>, mpc stop
Etc.
Greetings.
