I've tried various other window managers in various contexts including mwm, fvwm2, afterstep, windowmaker, elightenment, and CDE and I have found that Sawfish is the best of them.I second all of the above, except that my set of rejected window managers is a bit different from dman's (Enlightenment, wm2, 9wm, aewm, Blackbox, and I forget what others). I use Sawfish on Linux, and Blackbox with Win32/Cygwin/XFree86 only because AFAIK nobody has ported Sawfish to Cygwin and I don't like running window managers across a network.
Back to newbie type questions. I am not clear enough on the relationship between window managers and desktop environments. I just found http://www.windowmaker.org/ which makes me think I am running GNUStep with WindowMaker. There is a GNUStep directory in /root. Is that likely to be what I got with the potato install if I didn't do anything special? I stupidly thought I was running Gnome because I had all of these Gnome things like Gnome Terminal and GnotePad+.
I am not finding overview types of documentation in some areas or just not reading the right things.
