Brian,
Strong preference for Fluxbox.
I second all the good stuff about fluxbox technically and its low
system resource usage, but as a day to day environment for running
stuff like Crossover Office, Open Office, etc., I got too tired having
to make all my menus by hand.

Geez Mark, a vigorous young man like yourself. The shame! How hard is
[exec] (Ardour) {ardour -n} or running menumaker?
Actually, and joking aside as I'm kidding you and it's been a long time
since we've "talked" with the last being probably about Fluxbox as well,
I truly appreciate "having" to make my menus by hand since not only is
it quick and easy but it results in precisely what I what to then be
able to use.
For me Fluxbox, with groups and keys provides the absolutely optimized
environment for exactly what I am doing. There's no way things would
simply shake out like this in one of the automated desktops - KDE,
Gnome, and the high-priced spreads.
I understand the straightforward simplicity of graphically editing menus
using desktop tools but truly feel I have much more at my disposal with
this environment, not less. Not less in any way.
