Greetings:
Blackbox. Fast, light, totally unadorned... My machines are quite slow
by today's standards, so I need to squeeze the juice out of 'em. I like
KDE and GNOME, but they're 'way too heavy for me.
Best,

first of all, sorry if this topic has been talked

At the moment i'm starting to get more and more into recording (both
multi-track and synths, etc). I added on a second monitor and am now
in the process of trying out different window managers (again). I'm
using xfce at the moment, but i might try fluxbox again for a while.
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.
I was using xfce but moved over to using Windowmaker just because I
like the usability of WindowMaker a little more. Both of them are
very lightweight and work well for audio, I think, and don't have the
overhead of a full-blown desktop environment like KDE or Gnome.
