And if you _really_ want a window manager that looks like you're operating on the console apart from graphical output from time to time, use ion (or ion-devel). I used that on my old laptop when I was tired of waiting for gnome etc. and didn't want to be distracted from my thesis work at all. If I _did_ want to be distracted, I used windowmaker with some nice dockapps. Looks just fine! David -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus.
