BTW, KDE might be getting a lot of false hits just b/c people want to see the stats, and so click "vote"...

accepted. on the other hand this poll does appear to bear out my previous understanding on the distribution of different nix desktops.

Maybe I'm nuts but I prefer Fluxbox.

You are nuts.

Can you show us what your desktop looks like, though?

I never could get myself situated in fluxbox. Lack of per-desktop wallpapers or thumbnail desktop pagers that I can drag windows between were show stoppers for me.

One thing that is fun to do is replace Metacity with Openbox.

Openbox originally was a fork of the *box stuff, I think, but the developer went with a complete rewrite.

It's ultra-configurable and is EWMH compatable so you can use it as a drop in replacement for the default window managers used in Gnome or KDE.

It's very nice. And unlike most WM it's configuration stuff is well documented and make sense.
