With all this talk about desktops, you might want to check out
www.freedesktops.org. They are working on some sort of standardized
interoperability and shared technology for X based desktops.
They don't seem to be trying to work on a standard desktop, but standardize
ways some things on the desktops work. Things like adding/removing menu
items, adding/removing desktop items, drag-and-drop, etc.

Subject: opinions on Window Managers please
Good Morning Everyone,
I'm curious about trying a light weight window manager for my gentoo
box. I'm currently running Gnome with no major complaints except that
my CPU utilization is really high when running vmware. I know Vmware is
a big application; although, I remember running several VM's under my
Windows XP box which I cannot do under my Linux box.
I've looked briefly at fluxbox and Icewm on the web ( I have now emerged
them both). I need something that is not going to chew up a bunch of
time to learn.
Hmmm...I wonder if I'm taking a good approach here?
Running on a P4 1.7Ghz w/1GB RAM.
Thanks for your input,
TJ
