No, I’m afraid I don’t. I know Slax is very closely wound around KDE though, so it might be that some core libraries are intertwined. It would be best to check with the Slax community on that one.

do you have any idea why Fluxbox needs KDE in the “build slax” option?

I’ve just compiled this fork of the original cwm at http://www.martintoft.dk/?p=cwm

It rocks !

I’ve just added a picture in background with the command display in my ~.xinitrc and customized keys binding in a ~/.cwmrc.

If I remember correctly, OpenBSD has picked up development on cwm and installs it by default.

I am hoping that you will give “scrotwm” a try. I would like see what you think of it, as I intend to install it in the near future.

Well, i3 is more similar to wmii than musca, musca is a lot more easy to use for piecing off the screen for what you really want, with i3 I always have to remap all the keyes, and then I crave for the ease and minimalism that is in musca, but that is me, and my point of view though.

On another point, I have just started to have to use puppy linux because my japanese ISP was doing something with the servers so only puppy can connect for some reason, and I have started to like JWM a bit, as far as a stacking manager goes it isn’t bad, just that I miss my arch-setup a lot.
