I don’t use desktop environments on Linux. I prefer small,fast, efficient window managers. Some years ago I used olvwm (open look window manager) which was dicontinued by sun. Then I switched to wmx which I patched for my needs, but still it was missing some features. Now I use openbox which is highly configureable yet small and fast. You can find my openbox config file here http://alext.mail.at/wp-content/uploads/rc.xml.
