You could do that, but the screenshots at http://qvwm.org are scarily
MS-like.
Or it could be a good source of icons for your own project..

Anybody care to help me modify the icons etc.. eg. how to change the gnome
foot button??


Right-click - Properties - Icon

Why not go even further, to really fool em you could have things like, a
crash daemon, and to make the Luser (umm boss) really at home how about
apps the have talking paper clips that say things like; it looks like your
going to the toilet, do you want a hand? :-)

 Heh. :-)
 Fortunately, it's even easier to do that these days, with a little bit
 of care.  Compare and contrast:

Right-click, hit properties.

You'd want to modify the packages, however, for easy installation, etc.
