I switched from Xfce4 to JWM. JWM does work with

QjackCtl. Often I need to kill QjackCtl, because the Connect window

don't want to use a tiling window manager or a WM that is nearly as
bloated, as DEs such as Xfce4. What WMs do you use?
I used to experiment with WMs but I use Openbox since quite a while.
I tested and I still will continue testing openbox.
Until now I experience JWM as much more reliable than openbox.
I set a margin for the top of openbox's workspace, as large as the panel
on top is, but many windows hide their "heads" under the panel
(fbpanel). For JWM this issue only appears with QjackCtl (JWM's own
panel, also on top ;).
Openbox comes with a few other minor issues, but they are really minor
issues, so I will continue testing. Anyway, JWM on my machine seems to
be the better choice.

PS: I forgot to mention that on JWM the QjackCtl's Windows is above all
other windows and hide it's head under the panel.
I didn't use QjackCtl on openbox, but experienced issues with other
apps. The windows were not above all other windows, but they hide their
heads under the panel or they opened with most of the window left
outside the workspace and a few other problems happened, that don't
happen when using JWM.
