I ran into one issue, that being on my server (mythtv, file, etc) I am normally in text/ssh mode but occasionally I need X for something. Does anyone have suggestions for a small-footprint window manager (I have no need for a full desktop environment) as twm is just fugly and sometimes not intuitive. I also don't need a file manager as I use Midnight Commander which works well for my needs. This all stems from occasionally needing a gui for configuring mythtv or the ability to have two shells open side by side. I am thinking others have most likely had this problem at some point and have found something that's lightweight for this type of purpose. Dan
