Hi,

I've very partial to tvtwm.  Set with no window borders and
almost no color.  I find it very relaxing and quick to work
with.  Others in my office seem to hate it.  Works with 
m68k systems on up.  

My .tvtwmrc file is:

=====

NoTitle
RandomPlacement
VirtualDesktop "5x2-0-0"

Color {
        PannerBackground "gray"
}

Sticky {
  "xclock"
  }

Function "move-or-raise"   { f.move f.deltastop f.raise }

Function "resize-or-zoom"  { f.resize f.deltastop f.fullzoom }
Function "resize-or-lower" { f.resize f.deltastop f.lower }
Function "resize-or-raise" { f.resize f.deltastop f.raise }

Button1 = m : window : f.function "move-or-raise"
Button3 = m : window : f.function "resize-or-lower"

Button3 =   : window : f.function "resize-or-lower"

"x"     =   : root   : f.exec "exec xterm -ls -sb -sl 10000 &"
Button1 =   : root   : f.menu "mgmt"

menu "mgmt" {
        "tvtwm"         f.title
        "Refresh"       f.refresh
        "Resize"        f.resize
        "Move"          f.move
        "Raise"         f.raise
        "Lower"         f.lower
        ""              f.nop
        "Restart"       f.restart
        "Quit"          f.quit
}

I've tried others on my mac68k boxen, but keep coming back to it.  I even use it on faster machines because it doesn't make them feel bogged down like KDE and GNOME do.  Blackbox gives me what I need, and then stays out of my way so I can get work done.

Might be a nice desktop on faster machines.  (I should try that sometime...)  The drawback is that very few apps use its toolkit, so you can't get much benefit from shared libraries.
