Right now, openbox with gnome. http://hans.fugal.net/blog/linux/openbox.html I've done time with, and enjoyed, windowmaker, fluxbox, fvwm, and fvwm with gnome, xfce4, and fvwm with xfce4-panel. I've done time with and almost enjoyed blackbox, metacity, saw{mill,fish}, and a number of less memorable ones. ion was a fun diversion, and for some workflows, mostly programming, very efficient. It helps keep me from getting distracted. And then there's the bad ones: twm, and that proprietary unix joke whose name I can't remember. Overall fvwm is probably the winner, except I have a hard time doing without a decent most-recently-used window switching algorithm. Openbox is so far so good, although I'm tempted to try fluxbox again for the tabbed windows (I guess it mostly depends on if I can get gnome-terminal to behave).

All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
