I like fluxbox but what it adds, it loses most with me with one little small feature (and it is this one and only feature that sours my experience!)....
the ability to work in another window with but a quick pass over the designated box no matter if it is behind another window. With fluxbox, I have to click on the designated window to type or use whatever is in that box, thereby blocking and hopping in front of the original window that I had wanted to copy from or reference. A good scenario: I want to type a command in a terminal window, but I have another terminal/editor/browser as a reference on typing the appropriate commands that I need to accomplish a task. It sucks that when it comes time to type the command with a lengthy list of options or reconfiguring a "spec" file, I have to block the referencing program with the terminal that I am using to type in my command arguments. Or watching a video or engaging in a video chat with gnomemeeting while trying to recompile a program or checking email and having the video blocked by the offending email program or terminal. Fluxbox provide a "fix" or "option" for the blackbox "trait" and I will be completely sold! - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Altoine B Maximum Time Unlimited Chicago Based and Operated http://pgp.mit.edu - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Am I ranting?
