This one?

It's very good. Componentised. Lost the silly 'start' bar. Uses normal X
typefaces (hence any truetypes installed just appear instead of requiring
preconfiguration). Anti-aliasing (I was CV-twiddling the other day, and it
was very attractive).

I don't know a huge amount about it, but there's something to do with gtk+
in there. The fact that it's linked against glib and gtk+ gives it away,
firstly. Although it's still using the same UI I've seen before, so I can't
actually tell if it's being used anywhere.
