OK, Fvwm and Xfce. I use Openbox but the only
thing I do with it is Alt-Tab between windows
so I suppose I could do with whatever.
Actually if you have X and a WM the purpose of
a "desktop" eludes me - why do you want it?
To make everything have the same "look and
feel"? But isn't that what the GFX programming
library and WM do? I believe Gnome and KDE were
efforts when the Mac and PC (Windows) were big
on desktops - should be the Windows 95-era?
People that came to Linux didn't recognize it
to be a computer system and it made no sense to
them. However to then bring over the desktop
seems a bit illogical because don't people come
to Linux because they don't like what they had
before? Nowadays I suppose Gnome isn't even
a DE anymore.
