Which little quirks do you want? I find that little things can really make a big difference.
When I use ALT-Tab to cycle thro all open apps, I would like to see all apps in a list or a row with the current selected app highlighted. I saw one window manager doing it just how I like it but don't remember which one now.
I would like to have focus when I click on any part of a window, not just the title bar. It's taking a while to get used to enlightenment, since I can use the mouse to select text in a window without actually selecting the window, and then when I press delete, it deletes something in the other window, not the text. Sounds weird, and it is!
I'd also like to have a key combination that will call up the gnome log-out dialog. Used to be ALT+F1 in metacity in my original installation but I've lost it since.
I also want to restrict the desktop to just one instance, I don't use this feature. I keep finding mis-clicks with the mouse or a fumble on the keyboard (does happen!) throws me into another desktop.
The list would go on but I don't want to bore you, Adam
