How does this do for processing overhead? 
I have been using fluxbox on my
"performance" machine because it is
lightweight but there are some features that I would like to have that
don't seem supported in that manager. I use gnome 2.10 on my other
machine because there isin't much you can do to make a pentium 700mHz
speedy enough to do a lot of realtime processing.
Lets say your building a machine for live realtime processing
performance using PD: what windomanager is lightweight enough to not
draw too much CPU power away from the audio apps, yet has a "desktop"
and a customizable menubar able to do menus inside of menus?
fluxbox cant seem to display a "desktop" and iconbox only does icons
and isin't really a menu system.
