using my new rc1, i've been trying out alternative window managers (to KDE).

i started to get somewhere with Enlightenment,
when (while exploring themes) i tried to start the 3rd theme in the list:
'CONFIG: missing required data in "100 PROGRESS_TEXT_NUMBER"'
& the only thing which still worked was to exit Enlightenment.
on logging-in to Enlightenment again, the same error box came up;
still no change after a reboot.  definitely a bug.

not bugs, but unwelcome: IceWM's help doc is dated 010304 & "not complete";
BlackBox appears to have no on-line help nor does WindowMaker;
XFCE gets top marks in all categories except its choice of backgrounds,
which is important as one has to look at them all day long:
you can choose  1  picture background for all desktops
or  3  plain colors repeated over all of them (i use  10 ).

i was hoping there would be a realistic alternative to KDE (which is good),
but Mr Duval was right to make it his 1st choice (interview in LT today).
