Yes DWM is for power users and it is an amazing piece of software. I don't 
think I can ever go back to anything again...

Anyways, i do see a potential for DWM for beginners though. I mean my parents 
won't be able to use the entire power of DWM but I am sure they will appreciate 
the cleanliness of the desktop and the whole tags concept. It will make their 
life easier in my opinion.

Yes, I guess I could use the dwm bar for launching apps. But I might stick with 
an 'apps' folder in their home folder that consists of all the applications 
they would want to use. I would have lets say rox launch at DWM startup and 
have it open up the apps folder by default.

Or i could try using idesk....

And finally...DWM would scream on their old machine.

Thanks!

Amit
