    Hello David,

    Well, I use Window Maker. It's pretty barebones yet I think it's
    effecient. It's also fast, much faster than KDE or Gnome. I personally
    dislike FVWM and FVWM2, they look to "rough" and unpolsihed for me. I
    also wanted a efficient, fast and resource concious window manager and
    settled for window maker. A friend of mine is now using Fluxbox, he
    thinks it's "the business".

    Both are in the ports.

    That sums up my addition to this thread.

    Greetings,

    Marcel.
