I should try Windowmaker.

At the moment xdm doesn't seem to work with the corrent kernel, nothing
to do with Gnome of KDE. So I pick an old kernel every time I boot.

Video codecs would be nice. But my laptop doesn't seem to have the
hardware needed to keep up with them. I've pretty much gven up on
video.
But I'm happy with libreoffice. Too bad is wasn't out in
time for stable. Openoffice had dropped support for
.fodt files, which are essential to my production chain. Well, I
suppose I could have rewritten a lot of coode instead.

It's the plugins that don't keep up.
