I'm looking to change the wm to something more modern. I'm in favor of xfce
 Looking to see what the community has interst in. Now I know a lot of people have a problem with xfce because of memory usuage but I will be working on optimizing it as much as possible. But throw out suggestions Late |

I don't care which wm we use as long as it does the following:
easy to use quick and responsive pretty (easily themable) support for .desktop files or other way of easily generating menus support for screen rotation window resizing custom key bindings applets/doclets (whatever you call them) that give you easy access to commonly used features, ie mount/unmount of cards, network, date/time,.... so far I have tried several such as FluxBox, IceWM, OpenBox, MatchBox, Enlightenment, KDE, and each has their own strengths and weaknesses... i have not tried xfce yet. i think discussing the pros and cons of each wm would eventually lead to an informed decision about which wm would provide a better Zaurus user experience. |

Using a feature checklist like this will definitely help, instead of passing holistic and impressionistic judgment on different wms. How about this also: collapsible toolbar/taskbar/tray? |
