Does anyone use Window Maker?

I have recently started using the window maker again but have found out that many of the KDE based applications I rely heavily on in KDE don't work so well when run in window maker environment.

Does anyone have a list of good applications that will work well in window maker? K3B and Kopete for example don't seem to work very reliably in windowmaker from my experience... what are the alternatives?

Brasero or Xcdroast and Pidgin can replace those two. I had a similar problem after abandoning KDE and wandering in the lands of xfce and GNOME. I adopted Vim for text editing, XChat, Transmission, and Mutt. PCmanFM can replace whatever file manager you used in KDE. It is similar to Nautilus. I stuck with Firefox and OpenOffice.

Excellent! Thanks for the input, I will try those.

Also, Exaile can replace amaroK.
