I never figured out fvwm. It has multiple desktops and you can drag windows between them but it jumps them too far too easily. Tell me, what's the appeal? I'm willing to think I'm just not understanding it (though points should always be allotted for intuitiveness). I use wmii with a bunch of dmenu custom menus. I haven't found a file manager I like (xfe is the best so far, but it uses some weird custom toolkit, thunar is nice but really wants famd, which for some reason seems associated with trackerd spinning up and eating my CPU, the rox-filer in packages doesn't work right). I like Midori but it doesn't work everywhere, so I keep firefox and epiphany and galeon around (why is it that Gecko seems so much slower on OpenBSD than Linux?). I try to use mpd but sometimes I just don't bother to set it up locally (especially since I have a media server now), so I stick with Totem (I hate VLC's UI and mplayer is only really any good for one offs; totem is codewise pretty heavy but at least the interface makes sense). OpenBSD on the desktop feels like a lot of compromises to me :( . If I still got off from using the command line everywhere it wouldn't be a problem but it is. -Nick
