Why did I ever waste screen space with other window managers.?.?. Ion is great. I've had recommendations to try wmii as well. But once I got adjusted to using ion, I've had no reason or desire to change. Jim
I have to say it too: Ion! Ion + Rox file manager. Ion is a *different* one: basically, its philosophy is to manage window space for you. You don't have to keep deciding all the time where you'll put that windows for xterminal (should I put it to the left of Mozilla? Maybe a little to the right? None of that. It's nonsense - what you want is always the maximum space possible). And the Rox file manager goes fine with it, because you can just click file - say, a pdf - and it'll open with what you configured it to use. It's nice to have a GUI file manager. Ion even plays nice with KDE (or, rather, it is KDE that is very well behaved), so that if you want to use Konqueror, you can. Ion uses Lua for its scripting language. As you know, Lua was designed to interface nicely with C libraries. (www.lua.org) I am so much more productive with Ion.
