Hi Vik,

I agree with Chris S. that Enlightenment menus are difficult to
read if the themes are like 'bluesteel'. Not a bad manager if the
visuals are ok.

To get things just right in fvwm2 can take several days editing
fvwmrc which most ppl are just not prepared to do. Can be very good
if you persist.

Afterstep is one I still havn't got used to.

sWM (small Window Manager with 4 workspaces) is probably the smallest
(32k binary), and looks modern due to its titlebar buttons. Won't
ever turn you off visually as there is just xterm.

I prefer kde to gnome/sawfish because the desktop/window menus are
more ordered.

My favourite window manager is wmaker because of its speed,
reliablity, appearance and ease to configure and work with.

One hassle is wmakers default Ctrl-Alt+arrow keys to swap workspaces
because I have to take my hand off the mouse to press the arrow.
Changing the shortcuts to Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-q is a easy workaround
and much faster.

cheers,
Keith.
