IceWM because it's the only one that can TILE windows via a hotkey.

I might use another one if I could.

I'm trying to learn python so I can make a standalone program that does it for me so I can try other ones.

How is XPde? I've been looking at setting up Linux on all the comps at work as a more cost effective solution to WinXP for everyone to use but I'm afraid that the old windows users might whine about how different any of the WMs/DEs are from Win... What I'm asking is, is XPde a viable desktop solution? I tried it once but could never get it to work right... just succeded in jacking up my GDM install...

Can't believe I haven't voted in this yet. I started trying Linux on a couple of ancient computers so, when I had X at all, I went for the lightweight wms - tried a few and used blackbox almost exclusively. (Though the first I ever saw of Linux after my first install was an old KDE desktop.) Now, even though it's not a necessity on this computer (1.1 GHz Athlon, 512MB RAM) I still like the boxes and switched to Fluxbox because it's got a few frills over blackbox but is still very blackbox-like.

So, fluxbox!

before the new kde and gnomes came out, i used kde because it was much better than gnome

then i decided to go with fluxbox because it was better than both kde and gnome (looked nicer to me)

now, i have just installed gentoo and i grabbed kde and gnome 2.4

i must say gnome 2.4 looks very nice to me and i dont wanna screw anything up so im gonna stick with gnome. kde is also nicer looking now. maybe when i get the balls to try again, i'll emerge fluxbox.

openbox v2 here, with gnome-settings-daemon beneath
it to make my fonts use the gnome font settings and so
that my gtk2 apps use the theme i have selected in gnome
as well.

I used to be a big KDE fan, but once I started using fluxbox and xfce, I never go to KDE or GNOME now. But I do open konqueror now and then when I feel that I have to browse through my disk(Not an easy task..tsk,tsk)
