I once found it amusing to run tkdesk as my "window manager", for example. But it's really not something I would advise to someone not experienced in running X without a desktop environment. Since beryl doesn't even provide a menu to launch apps, nor does it default to starting a term window, an inexperienced user probably would find themselves quickly lost. - -- Andy Harrison public key: 0x67518262 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org iD8DBQFGeGW1NTm8fWdRgmIRAomBAJ4r7Bo5eB7sS15440ysJ+IttvqIQgCg6/yR BR/pcTqlwQ0RJLw/jloc89s= =52nA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
