Written in C (unlike (flux|black)box which is C++).
I'm going to give that a whirl. If it works, its unlikely that
(flux|black)box will have another outing on any of my machines.

Now for the question: which window manager are
you using for audio work and
why? I don't mean for this to start a flame war... notice it wasn't titled
"what's the best window manager?" ;) I just want to take an informal survey
of what everyone is using and see why people use what they do.
Openbox3
I use it because I prefer the way it looks to fluxbox and it's totally netWM
compatible (i.e. standards compliant) It's remarkably like running a
lightweight version of GNOME, but totally customisable. All it does is manage
windows, nothing else, which is a Good Thing IMO. I use gkrellm and fbpanel
to provide friendly GUI facilities and lots of keybindings.
