Hello,
Hoping this won't turn into a flame war, I am looking for recommendations for a window manager. I tried quiet a few but none seem to fit the bill yet. I need a window manager with the following - As lite as possible on memory (I heavily stress my laptop so I don't have much to spare). - Multiple desktops - A pop up menu application (don't need a panel) that has support for both the debian menus and a custom menu. - Hotkeys (mainly for maximize/minimize/desktop switch) - multiple desktops
I tried metacity but it didn't seem to have a menu (probably depends on gnome which is too memory intensive). I mostly use flwm now (After I hacked it to add a maximize button and fix the hotkeys). It is just about what I need. The two problems I have with it is that it occasionally crashes on me and the hotkeys are sometimes grabbed by the applications before the window manager (mostly mozilla-firebird), and I don't have the time to debug it now.
Thanx.
WindowMaker all the way. I especially like how the Debian packaged version handles menus through /usr/lib/menu, /etc/menu, and ~/.menu/
Very lightweight and snappy.
