But I like twm. No junk on the screen. I dont need more than one desktop. And all thge items that could be usefull on the desktop are in the left mousekey. The most essential things. Like gyroscope, a calculator, xmix. Much better ;-) Somebody from this list helped me a lot in setting up a .twmrc. Beauty in use.. Worth the efford. H.
