Well, I've got a nice desktop I'd like to show, but I've not got my web set
up right now. I'll tell you when it is (a few days?), but it uses a nice
window-manager called Enlightenment. Only available as alpha sources right now
 (it's being replaced by an improved version), and not exactly 'professional,
not in-your-face', but definitely my preferred window-manager (every window
has a shaped border. Nice, but slow...)
Coming soon...
