I'm sick of E.  I don't like the menu system, I'm not the biggest fan of
the virtual-desktop scrolling ability.  I also don't like the little
window for minimized programs. I like windowmaker's handling of this
better. Middle-click for the list of open progs.  Move it off to the side,
almost off screen, so you can mouse over it and get the list.  hotkeys for
desktop switches.  Etc, etc.  What I need is WindowMaker with the ability
to tab windows together (which saves me an unbelievable amount of real
estate at work).

The only thing that E does better than wmaker is having virtual desktops
above, and to the side.  I'm still playing with fluxbox, but I'm totally
sold on tabbing.



I fixed my problems, finally, and at work, installs went flawlessly.
