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.

Hi:
Hope this isn't off topic for this list. Would someone be
willing to suggest a Window Manager that would work well with a Linux
audio box using the Planet CCRMA images? I have used the Gnome and KDE
environments and just have come to feel that they are too bloated for
what I'm trying to do.
Does using a Window Manager instead of a full-blown desktop such
as Gnome mean that I can have more audio processing power since I am
giving up graphics overhead?
I am trying out fvwm and it is pretty sparse, but was wondering
what others might suggest as best for audio?
Many thanks,
