LXDE is based on openbox. I am using LXDE on a new install - excellent. I have also converted three other systems from gnome. Vastly increased productivity, no more crashes, much faster (esp on older hardware), and just plain nicer to use. When I get time I'll have to look into removing as much of gnome as possible ... are there any guides on how to do this? BillK
