Just tried it. As installed it actually takes more memory than blackbox - according to Top (which might be the wrong thing to be looking at, and if someone can give me a better measure, then I'll use it) I have 3.5Mb less free memory when running icewm over blackbox. However it is clearly a much more familiar environment for the kids, and it is running a lot of superfluous toys at the moment. I'll strip it down and report back.

Just built icewm with configure options --disable-i18n -disable-nls and --diable-guievents There was also a --enable-lite option, but this git rid of the task bar etc. After running strip -s on the binaries, I now have a window manager that (according to top) uses 1520K - which compares well with the 1696K for blackbox - especially given the extra functionality. I'll run with it for a few days to see if it cuts the mustard - it's looking good so far! Cheers -- Phil Driscoll
