[Glastonbury] default desktops

[tim hall]

Hi Steve,

I've been playing around with Window Managers and themes/styles quite a bit 
lately. This thread is right on cue.

Yes.
I've just cobbled up a page called "What's so great about Linux" - with the 
idea that it should go up on the LUGoG site - it's basically just a 
collection of screenshots, plus a little bit of blurb about the applications 
featured. I'm still fine tuning it. I'll put it up somewhere this week.

I've been using fluxbox for the last year and absolutely loved it.

I'm trying out openbox at the moment - it's not as smooth as flux, but more 
configurable / integrated with the general X11 scheme of things. I'll let you 
know how I get on. There's a couple of things about it that may make me run 
back to fluxbox if I can't sort them.

I also had a look at some other WMs, just out of curiosity. iceWM is quite 
nice, but a bit too Windozy for my comfort. It does a good compromise between 
being lightweight and providing eye-candy. Mind you, I use *box because I 
think it looks best ... go figure. Or in fact take a look at my screenshots 
when I put them up. Yours look familiarly cool. Will keep you posted.

You don't /really/ edit the LUGoG site using dreamweaver do you?
