Xfwm4. I also like JWM, for lighter distributions.

Nice to see OpenBOX gaining some attention. I guess my promoting it year after year on these polls is starting to have some effect. lol. Seriously, I think LXDE choosing it as bundled WM has probably exposed a lot of folks to it.

There is a competition between Kwin and compiz. But my favorite COMPIZ got first.

WOW :eek: Compiz actually won?? Unbelievable! w00t! :D

Honestly I thought one of the *boxes would win, LOL

I've actually left the KDE 4 camp and therefore kwin. I was a die hard KDE fan. But the bugs have gotten to me.

I switched to XFCE and thus xfwm4 for a while. That was an improvement.

Then I saw the poll on Fluxbox. I tried out all of Slackware's window managers. Fluxbox was really good. And fast. Login and *BOOM* your desktop is ready. And it's stable and bug free. I'm turning my back on Desktop Environments in general. A simple window manager is enough.

Learning to tweak Fluxbox is well worth the time investment of a few days. I'm totally converted now. I can't see what I ever saw in full desktop environments now.
