I made the leap away from GNOME to pure sawfish a few months ago, and I've been quite happy with it. I put the last gtk1.2 version of sawfish on hold (since the rest of the apps I use are gtk1.2 based (if using much of a toolkit at all)) and have been quite enjoying it. > Currently I only use the panel to have handy application launchers and > the workspace switcher applet. If anyone has suggestions for > replacing either one with a lighter alternative I'm all for it I downloaded spager (aka sawfish-pager) and built it from source against gtk1.2 (since the version in sid conflicts with my version of sawfish); it works great, aside from a little startup weirdness. For app launching, I'm just using key bindings now. shift+f1 launches an Eterm, shift+f2 a dtemacs window and shift+f3 a new galeon window. For other apps, I just sawfish's root menu, or start them from the Eterm I already have in front of me ;) In the blinkenlight department. gkrellm has more fake flashing LEDs and simulated buttons than any one person could ever use ;) > (and a "session manager" that will keep the X session alive yet still > allow me to restart the window manager at will). I thought a session manager maintained your session across logins? I can certainly restart sawfish here and not have my X session collapse, though the windows do seem to move around a fair bit. -rob
