Hi,
For those which need descent WM for processing, whatever it would mean. Truly sine qua non.
For example it happened I used OpenBSD with FVWM, Debian GNU/Linux with FluxBox, and Scientific Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) with IceWM.
I'd be good to have the ability to carry the skill and knowledge into PC-BSD. Me (we) do not need KDE and other BLOBs. Ekhm, ..errr..,and we are in numbers. ;-) ...And I (we) like PBIs. :-)
Few words on PBI blueprints and the WMs of the Future. ;-) (rewritten from PC-BSD blog: http://blog.pcbsd.org/2010/09/first-look-at-9-0-installer/#comments)
Every DE has its own set of icons both for DE and for applications running under its control. You might put the DE and Apps sets into 9.0 Installer instead of stuffing application icons into meta files of the application’s PBI. Linuxes use icons placed in /usr/share/icons and /usr/share/pixmaps dirs respectively. Use the “trick”.
The last statement about "Linux icons" does not presents full picture but is enough to stress possibility to manage DE icons more efficiently.
Regards
P.S.
BTW. FluxBox WM found in latest Linux MINT distribution is "eye-candy" too. So, FluxBox does not have to be in a "raw" flavor. See the website http://www.linuxmint.com/blog/?p=1523 It sports "tint2" panel/taskbar (http://code.google.com/p/tint2/).
