wm switch
i got kinda bored with fluxbox, so i decided to try out some new wm's
i looked up what ones there were to choose from...quite a lot.
i found xfce, looked cool enough
i added
deb http://www.os-works.com/debian testing main
deb-src http://www.os-works.com/debian testing main
to /etc/apt/sources.list
then
apt-get update
then
apt-get install -t testing xfld-desktop
(which installs everything xfce uses)
i then logged out of fluxbox and logged into xfce
the default theme sucks, but u can easily change it with the setup utility in the User Interface section
i suggest, if one wants, you use the gtk2 theme Tenebrific, it looks
awesome.
conclusion: xfce is gnome w/o the bullshit
xfce is the only wm other than fluxbox i have tried, i will try more soon and add them here

XFCE has one defect that I've noted: if you plug in a USB memory stick, delete some files from the stick, then transfer files to the stick, XFCE will not let you unmount the memory stick unless you log out and than back in.
BTW, XFCE's bugzilla and Xubuntu's launchpad "bug reporting systems" are completely fu*king useless. I'm not going to "register" or any other bullshit just to report a bug. Stupid.
