Nothin fancy. Fluxbox with dmenu. All the fun stuff happens in .fluxbox/keys anyway. Notice the uid and gid. Yeah I'm a dork but it seemed to just be the right thing to do.
Since 90% of my "root"ing is done via "su", I have not bothered until now to do much configuring of the root's home environment. If I needed to login as root, I would set up whatever I needed on the fly.
Now that I have installed the "slim" login manager, I decided to take advantage of the extra flexibility it offers to set up an environment for root. Yes, root uses TWM (KISS) and the "terminal" (the most important program for root) automatically starts up on login. I can also run Thunar and Google-Chrome from TWM's menu (but one should never go surfing as root). Since terminal is the last program to be started at login, "exit"ing from terminal automatically logs root off.
also, im very confused as to where to put my screenshots now. are we putting them in this thread, or in the screenshots forum, and if its in that forum, what thread am i supposed to put them in? honestly, i found the whole system to be a lot better before we had a dedicated forum for screenshots, nobody even goes there anyway :/
until i am told otherwise, ill be posting here and there.

I got to give it to you man, you got a knack for making really nice looking desktops.
Here is my reliable Slackware 13.1 setup that's going for quite some time now (changed two laptops, but OS remains). This is blend of minimalistic Xfce and some eye-candy cairo-dock features into a comfortable working environment. I have to say, this setup is most pleasing one of all my setups so far. I have used Haiku themes for xfce, and absolutely love HaikuHand cursor theme

EDIT: oh wait, you were referring to my old kde desktop. the font i used there was Bauhaus.

lots of searching. my font collection holds somewhere around 900-1500 fonts, that, my wallpapers folder, and my music collection are the only things ive kept intact over all the past few years of distro hopping.

To take the example of bauhaus alone, a google search brings up so many versions, free and unfree, and you don't know which one will look good on which device at what resolution, so it's all try & error from there.
