[linux-audio-user] suggested Window Manager good for audio?

[Jan Depner]

I use KDE for non-realtime apps or minor things with Ardour, JAMin,
Audacity.  I use fluxbox when I'm doing multitrack recording.  I just
put exec fluxbox into .Xclients-default in root's home directory, do an
init 3, and then startx.  When I get done with a session I log off and
then do an init 5 to get back to the KDE login.  This gives me the best
of both worlds depending on what I'm running.  Note: I run audio as
root.
