e17 is just not my cup of tea. I am a minimalist in the heart and e17 seems like an epitome of bloat. |

How to do feel about manually filling in menus? Gnome, KDE, Xfce4 and LXDE adhere to the freedesktop standards and for most items menu entries are automatic. LXDE has recently been added to FreeBSD although I have not tried it in FreeBSD. I have run it in linux and have not had major issues with it.
Icewm is light and fast but configuration and menus are managed by editing files. |

It is not ported to OpenBSD (it is to FreeBSD and NetBSD/DragonFly) but if you look on ports@openbsd you will see that I was submitting working port in the past. If you edit Python preferences to 2.6 which is now default for OpenBSD you will be in business. On CWM filling the menu is very easy as it is not XML crap but rather just a very simple text file so you do not need MenuMaker. |

There's this thread:
What WM/DE do you currently use? I've been using PekWM for quite some time. It's fast and has very good and flexible key configuration.

@vato
As You do not want tiling WM, then I would use Openbox here, very light and fast (written in C) and very configurable.

You can just mix and match, for example there is nothing stopping you from using PekWM with gnome-panel or xfce4-panel, hell, you can even run both panels if you want to. The fastest and easiest thing to do however, is to just go with XFCE4.

xfce is getting fat and fat and fat...everybody knows it...

I use openbox on my netbook. Also sawfish on my main. The only prob with sawfish is lisp, lol.

I like tiling window managers (stumpwm, i3 etc), but I've found a while ago matchbox-wm.
It is designed for smartphones or netbooks with small screens & works OK on eeepc. If you use most apps in full sceen mode matchbox could be your wm. |
|
|||
How is Lisp a problem?
|
|
|||
might i suggest WindowMaker.
Give it a shot. If you don't fall in love w/it sue me.
It's very very nice. I would try and eventually get to the point where I could use OpenMotif. MWM. Books are being sold online for $1 that cover the ins and outs of MWM. You have all the documentation you need to set up a rocket science lab. |

You know, FVWM can emulate much of the MWM look and feel; while being almost as configurable as emacs lol.
