Hello David,

Well, I use Window Maker. It's pretty barebones yet I think it's 
effecient. It's also fast, much faster than KDE or Gnome. I personally 
dislike FVWM and FVWM2, they look to "rough" and unpolsihed for me. I 
also wanted a efficient, fast and resource concious window manager and 
settled for window maker. A friend of mine is now using Fluxbox, he 
thinks it's "the business".

Both are in the ports.

That sums up my addition to this thread.

Greetings,

Marcel.
