fluxbox for me. (0.9.9 Erik - I have some problems too, but only since 
moving to xorg-x11...)

I must say that after a couple of years with fluxbox I've been very 
happy with how well it works. It's always been stable for me, and it 
loads so few things that top is relatively clean.

That said, I seem to be developing a frustration with Linux window 
managers and menu management. It seems that for fluxbox I have to manage 
my menu using vi. It seems for Mozilla I have to manage my bookmarks 
with their editor. I recently started doing some more work in Windows 
(since I cannot get wireless working under Linux yet) and had been doing 
a bunch of browsing and bookmarking. It's so nice in IE being able to 
rearrange my bookmarks by just dragging them around. Same for the start 
menu. Just drag apps to the area you want them in the menu.

Do any of the light weight Linux window managers support this?

Thanks,
Mark
