I am already using fluxbox, but he mentioned that fluxbox wasn't as lean as
other window managers, which is the reason why I asked for some others.

The Dock (slit) of fluxbox is something hard to avoid using when you start
using dockapps.

And the thing that prevents me fro using blackbbox is, among other things,
the need for bbkeys. I think that this functionality should (as is done
with fluxbox) be included in the basic window manager.

Nice the suggestion on wm2. I will try it son.


Thanks,
