[wuug-list] [wuug-forum] ezod: Standalone WM, anyone?

[Matthew Johnston]

I love the KDE backend (dcop, kio-slaves, et al.); {I am a little worried
that it might provide an avenue for malware in the future a-la Windows}.

I use Fluxbox as my WM with KDE-base and KDElibs for my backend. Conky is as
fancy as it gets for my eyecandy. I look forward to KDE4 because of all the
good stuff that I can make use of. I just hope to $deity that they keep the
eye-candy as optional. I am not looking forward to their whole concept of
active-desktop/"its where you work dude"/make it an experience that people
can interact with.

Rule #1) The DE/WM is HOW you access your programs, and should be invisible
to the process.

Rule #2) Just because the median processor/ram is 42-times more powerfull
then it was x-years ago does not mean that your programs can be 42-times
more bloated.

Rule #3) Keep everything optional. Just because you think that everybody on
the planet is stupid for not wanting something, does not mean everybody
actually does want it.
