I come from Mac (6,7,8,10.3,10.4)
Fluxbox Taskbar at the top. It even works like OSX (Only one window in it at a time)
Icons, well, since I have the slit and conky on the right, the icons go on the right. If I could find a really lightway (DSL thinking) dock, I would have them on the right like I do in OSX (Never liked having the dock on the bottom).

But to be unique to DSL, I am used to the fluxbox menu at the pointer, and running apps from xterm (which I started to do in OSX after I started doing it in DSL). I don't use the filesystem aliases in the dock to go through files either. Its either through terminal or finder windows. But then again, I don't store many files in dsl, only in a server capacity (NFS-Kernel-Server)

Oh. Rant rant. :D

Thanks for any pointers!

Sorry to re-open a thread that has been closed for some months, but I just happen to notice the last unanswered question.

I wanted to try flwm and just compiled it! I can submit it as an extension for you (and others) to try it too. Extension uses the FLTK shared libs so DSL 4.4RC1 or above is required. This way flwm is only 43.6K uncompressed (three times smaller than jwm).
