Re: What do you use ?

I use vanilla dwm and a simple ruby script for piping in the status line to dwm (it only uses ~0.7% CPU tops to run)

Re: What do you use ?

dwm on my laptop for a few days now. Its quite nice (i still need to configure tons of console apps though)

One problem I ran into was the transparent background for urxvt - it draws the desktop wallpaper in every window at 0,0 instead of using the correct offset for its position on the screen. any solution? what did i forget?

On the desktop its still openbox, but I think about moving to a full featured nice and shiny compiz desktop - now that i have a laptop for minimalist needs.

Re: What do you use ?

Xfce in my new computer and Fluxbox in my old computer. Very comfortable!

ArchLinux with Xfce4.

Re: What do you use ?

fluxbox and kde(mod).

I'm starting to get more comfortable with fluxbox, but not enough to get rid of kde, at least yet, but I'm tempted to. I like how light and fast fluxbox is!

I really wanted to use openbox, but my system is set up with 3 independent screens and openbox (as far as I know) doesn't support multi independent screens. I searched and searched and experimented to try and get it to see multi screens. everything I did failed. So I went to fluxbox, which I think I like better anyway : )

Re: What do you use ?

I am currently using gnome on my main desktop, but I also float around with openbox + pypanel, and I am now trying out dwm.

Re: What do you use ?

Icewm, which is very fast and which has something like a start-button. Login and shutdown are very fast, even firefox starts within 2 seconds (Athlon 1600+).

What is it with the sudden resurrections of old threads ?

KDE 4.2 on desktop, KDE 3.5 on laptop (at least for now), rarely XFCE, and almost never GNOME.

dwm, though xmonad is intriguing.
