I therefore suggest blackbox which seems to be easily configurable, nice on resources, pleasant to the eye. I think that for someone just starting out the ways of adding menu items, etc; cannot be beat. The latest compiles on SuSE 5.3 without complaint and it has some nice web-based config. information which shows how to write menu entries, change default window behavior, etc.
Cool - got a URL?

As a second choice I would also submit XFCE. This one takes the pain out of adding programs to a buttonbar by allowing you to do it interactively. No editing text files or writing arcane statements. Clicking to add, remove, rename, etc. Its easy to add icons or change them also by right clicking on a item and getting a list of things. Get this... The entire root window, colors, and other stuff is accessible whilst in the X desktop. You can change things like background, the color of the buttonbar, and a bunch of other stuff including sound. Check out XFCE. It compiles only needing the xforms libs. Its at: <A HREF="http://www.Linux-kheops.com/pub/xfce"><A HREF="http://www.Linux-kheops.com/pub/xfce</A">http://www.Linux-kheops.com/pub/xfce</A</A>> Between this one and blackbox, configuration of the X desktop belongs to the user. One cool feature of blackbox is the way the windows rollup. One cool feature of XFCE is its gradient window title bars. -- Michael E.
