I notice no one has mentioned enlightenment in this discussion of gui's.
I used black/fluxbox for a while, the WM for a while more, but have been on 
enlightenment for more than a year now. I run a mix of KDE and gnome apps, 
and a number of terminal windows (RXVT mostly) and of course GKrellm is open 
24/7 as my launch point.

Anyone else using enlightenment, and can you think of any of the good points 
I'm coming up blank on?
