[LAU] Desktop replacements for ROX applications

For very many years I've been using the combination of OpenBox and ROX. This
has provided a very lightweight and user-friendly interface. It's also
a good fit for the Raspberry Pi, and users unfamiliar with Linux seem to take
to it quickly. However...

ROX filer itself is still fine after all this time, but ROX-Lib relies on
Python-2, so all apps using it are now dead - as is the rox -users list :(

I can get round most of the ones I use but the two I need are desktop
replacements for are the Archiving program (which handles a laundry list of
formats) and screen resolution manager (based on XrandR).

The usual web searches don't seem to show up anything useful.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
