Thanks for this post, Lance. I just reinstalled uwm, having forgotten about
my experience with it a while back... I agree with you, now having gone
through several others (fvwm2, sawfish, icewm, wmaker). The only thing I
miss (and it may be strictly my ignorance) are icons for certain apps. But
it's soooo light and fast!
