Re: Lightweight WMs (was: Libretto 100ct and X)

Karo,

] I have tried ion, evilwm, and ratpoison. They all have their ups and
] downs. I think evilwm is pretty nice, except it has lack of keybinding
] support, and window control features.

] What can people suggest for a lightweight, keyboard focused WM?

Here are some pointers. I'm only personally familiar with Blackbox,
which I like:

    Blackbox Window Manager (VA Linux systems shipped with this as the
    default WM for a while)
    http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/

    Matchbox Window Manager
    http://handhelds.org/~mallum/matchbox/

Here are several discussions on the topic, which I find more useful than
a straight list of choices such as you'd find at Freshmeat
<http://freshmeat.net/>:
