Yes, I've used XFCE. I used 3.x.x for some time, and I find it is a competent window manager with competent tools. XFCE and IceWM are about the same speed, but still notably slower than WMaker and Blackbox.
I don't notice much difference between the above 4 based on speed but I keep returning to WMaker because I think it has a good balance between speed, ease of configuration, and features.
You've got a really good point. I, OTOH, keep returning to bb. WMaker is nifty, for sure, but WMaker is soo much more than a window manager. bb also has a pretty good tool kit for integrating KDE (menu conversion, works with KDE's paging, works well with KFM). There's even a bb patch so that Slit (the bb implementation of WMaker's dock) can swallow KDE applets like KICQ and KPPP :). -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x107 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
