One of the more annoying things I want to get away from in Microsoft Windows is focus-shifting: I'll be typing along in one place, then a webpage will finish loading, the window focus shifts, I keep typing and execute a bunch of commands in the new window (chosen by Windows, rather than by me, who would be content to keep typing and go to the webpage when I'm good and ready). In general I'd prefer a window manager that avoids these sorts of things (i.e., only does what I ask it to). Recommendations welcome. thanks, Joel Joel J.
