I use Sawfish (GNOME) and these are some of the things I like: - Double-click to shade a window. It's easier to find a shaded window than it is to find one icon on the taskbar/panel. - Right-click on title bar to make window "sticky". That keeps it open and in the same place on all desktops. Handy for a CD player app. - Sloppy focus. I can make focus follow mouse, without having to click to raise a window. I like "click to focus better" but some people's work habits make sloppy focus a good choice. - Program any keyboard shortcut to perform any window management task. I use Ctrl-Alt-I to minimize the current window and Ctrl-Shift-F4 to call the shell command that logs me out of GNOME (save-session --kill). Some other nice things in GNOME (some of this may be Ximian-specific): - The ability to tell the environment not to ask me if I'm sure when I attempt to logout. - Easily add logout and lock buttons to the panel. - User-specific MIME-types and associated applications. - Gdict utility to access dictionary servers online. Beats looking for the big book when you need to check a definition. It even helps when you've misspelled the search term. - Gaim connects to AOL, Yahoo, Jabber, MSN, and ICQ. It also lets you use aliases, so that a screen name like "acoolkat97" is displayed as "Uncle Bob". - Gimp beats whatever ships w/Windows hands down. - GMC and Nautilus let you peek inside tarballs and zip archives. No Winzip shareware required. - Evolution, AbiWord, Gnumeric, Dia, and GnuCash are a good basic office suite for home users. Some generic XFree86 niceties: - Unlock desktop without rebooting machine, by using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to end current X session. - The ability to run the entire environment remotely and have multiple users logged in at once. This lets me use a couple of old P150 boxes as X Terminals and only need to maintain software on a single box. Tony - - -- Anthony E.
