If you are looking for KDE, Gnome, etc they are in the Desktop Environment Award.

Based on how it usually goes, that bears repeating.

I voted for ice, of course, but an honorable mention to pek, which isn't up there. Extremely cool little wm.

I don't know if xfce's xfwm4 is a window manager, if it is it's missing from the list.

slakmagik · 12-31-2004, 02:53 AM

Yeah, xfwm4 is a wm but it's part of xfce, which is in de. Same would go for kwm and metacity.

(I think - I can't see the options anymore because I voted.)

Speaking of - even if it's necessary to block off the results, would it be possible to still display the candidates?

Fluxbox all the way

Glad they are split. Use beautiful Gnome 2.8 on Ubuntu on mt stationary PC and slick & lovely Flux on my Libranet laptop.

Voted Ion.

Enlightenment gets my vote again. It is what I use and I'm satisfied with it. Where's Ion & Ratpoison?

ratpoison · 12-31-2004, 06:01 PM

I voted for WindowMaker which I occasionally use, but would have liked to have seen others like ratpoison, wmi, and ion listed. All very functional and lightening fast!!!

bpt · 12-31-2004, 09:33 PM

Ratpoison, StumpWM, LarsWM and Ion are missing...

Until I take the time to get used to a tiling window manager, I use Sawfish and Fvwm2, both for the extensive customizability. Supposedly a version of SCWM that works with Guile 2.6 will be out soon...

Lindlar · 01-01-2005, 06:11 AM

Icewm! It's similar to win98.
