I still use it occasionally when I need something super minimal. Lately I've been enjoying xfce, since it gives just a little more than a "bare bones" window manager without the (IMO oppressive) weight of gnome or kde. I have been using xubuntu on my linux desktop for work as well. >> For those that come after, I recommend not bothering with 0.95.3 as it has >> "issues."

Very kind of you to say so. :) > ./danfe (long time Window Maker user in the past) I actually used NeXT systems back in the 90's, and when I started using FreeBSD in '95 Window Maker was my first wm, and until recently I kept going back to it after brief forays into other pastures. In the last few years OB and xfce have become stable and featureful enough to keep me from being tempted to go back, although there are still some Window Maker features that I miss, especially pinnable menus.
