Well pfffft! I hate things starting up without my expressly starting them. Although I have many MANY window manglers/desktops installed, I stay in what works best for me - XFce4 - and not about to change that neither (unless E17 ever makes the light of day) - hence, Xtart has been my fave. BTW, I have checked out PekkerWM in the past (it is installed) but found that it doesn't come close to being suitable for my usage...but as is said, some folks like coffee, some folks like tea and some folks just can't come to realise that PekWM sucks.
