Thanks Mark,

Previously I had only run with fvwm2 like Rob (Hi Rob), that and the other
responses gives me something to chew upon, with a similiar set-up as you
have given below. Basically, if I can get some nice feature without too
much impact on machine resources I would go with a desktop. My trails of
gnome/kde is leading me towards kde.

Normally I work only at the command line, the main reason that I have not
follow the development in this area. But I want to migrate and also use
some of the IBM Linux tools at home :)

Nick,

> b) Decide on a window manager first and work up from there?

Perhaps a concrete answer would be in order.  Here's my .xsession
file in its entirety - the only other configuration files are for
the xscreensaver package.

    #!/bin/sh
    xset m 4/3 0
    unclutter &
    xwrits +breakclock +clock &
    xscreensaver -no-splash &
    exec flwm -x -bg darkblue -fg lightblue

Yours sincerely,
