Help me find a desktop!!

Right on!, binidiot. I forgot about twm with all the 'pretty' programs it starts on execution. Be sure and add xfm to complete your 'desktop'. BTW this is just like the desktop used in my favorite 'Minimal Install' - the 1DiskXwindows Linux distro. Includes all of the above (and more?), all on just one floppy!

just xwmconfig at the prompt...

Ditto, what others like may not be what is best for your needs. I've tried Gnome, KDE, but yet still find myself coming back to Fluxbox due to the quickness, simplicity, and the fact it adds nothing in really.

They are all great, just you need to find what suits you.

Oh, come on! There have got to be a thousand or more threads on which DE/WM is better, many of them with a good helping of screenshots.

Is this thread really necessary?

This is no smaller than Fluxbox, really, and is even more limited and ugly.

Focus-follows-mouse is evil.
