Hi, A discussion on another list made me realize I'm a little tired of Gnome. It does what I need, mostly, but it feels sort of old and dry. I haven't run KDE in years but I'm hesitant to build it and keep it up to date. I really think I'd like something more minimalistic. I ran fluxbox years ago and liked that it was small and fast but at the time getting to apps was a hand-crafted menu editing task that I'd rather not repeat today.
QUESTION: Is there something small, fast but also easy to use in terms of the environment automatically creating menus when apps are added or removed with emerge? From a pure-fun standpoint something 3D might be fun, but I don't need it and expect that my old ATI Radeon X300 card probably isn't up to the task anyway. How do others choose a window manager and what do you value in your window manager that makes you stick with it? Thanks, Mark lightning ~ # eix | grep x11-wm * x11-wm/aewm++ * x11-wm/aewm++-goodies * x11-wm/aewm * x11-wm/afterstep * x11-wm/amiwm * x11-wm/awesome * x11-wm/blackbox * x11-wm/compiz * x11-wm/compiz-fusion * x11-wm/ctwm * x11-wm/dwm * x11-wm/echinus * x11-wm/emerald * x11-wm/enlightenment * x11-wm/evilwm * x11-wm/fluxbox * x11-wm/flwm * x11-wm/fvwm * x11-wm/icewm * x11-wm/ion * x11-wm/jwm * x11-wm/larswm * x11-wm/lwm * x11-wm/matchbox * x11-wm/matchbox-common * x11-wm/matchbox-desktop * x11-wm/matchbox-panel * x11-wm/matchbox-window-manager [I] x11-wm/metacity * x11-wm/openbox * x11-wm/oroborus * x11-wm/oroborus-extras * x11-wm/pekwm * x11-wm/plwm * x11-wm/ratpoison * x11-wm/sawfish * x11-wm/selectwm * x11-wm/stumpwm * x11-wm/treewm [I] x11-wm/twm * x11-wm/vtwm * x11-wm/windowlab * x11-wm/windowmaker * x11-wm/wm2 * x11-wm/wmii * x11-wm/xmonad * x11-wm/xmonad-contrib lightning ~ #
