Openbox is my choice for a window manager. Openbox is fast and small and that well suits my minimalistic approach. Openbox also provides virtual desktops that are, IMO, indispensable to a graphical interface. With Openbox there is no automatic method to create menus but the configuration files are very easy to manually edit. Once a basic menu structure is established, a simple cut and paste operation can be used to quickly update. There is also a configuration tool available for Openbox, but since I have never used it I cannot comment about it. Frank Peters
