Thanks for the pointer to LXQt. LXQt is the successor to the old LXDE, which is, IMHO the most stable of all the "Win9x style" window manager/desktop environments. I've used it for years on my travel notebook, and I've found it to always work: Something I can't say about most other Desktop Environments, *including* Xfce. When I go to a client to train them in Troubleshooting, I want a Win9x interface so I can go braindead about tech and concentrate on teaching. LXDE (and I presume LXQt) does that perfectly, and lxrandr is *especially* helpful when connecting to random projectors. Better yet, because LXQt is built around Openbox, you can configure its Openbox parts to respond to all the same hotkeys as just plain Openbox, which means you have LXQt's complete Win9x interface in parallel with the fastest known keyboard interface (especially if paired with dmenu). You're right, Marlon, LXDE, and therefore I'd assume LXQt, is a spectacularly productive interface for almost anyone. Thanks for reminding me.
