====================================
Or even just kill the process...
You are quite right about BB and it's sister fluxbox.  Both exceptionally
lightweight gui X wms, very configurable and relatively easy to use.
For even more light weight wm, as I've mentioned earlier in this thread,
ratpoison, ion, UDE, and wmi are all so free of "frill" that one almost
feels as if one is operating in a terminal mode.  But when you need an app
that requires X.....,  [i]voila[/i]
Best,
