gnome needs a solid, configurable wm

[Martin Brown <mjbjr beaudesign com>]

I really don't want to use KDE, really I don't...

I have installed october gnome and the latest Enlightenment, and E is a
huge disappointment.  Compared to the configurability of KDE, it leaves
alot to be desired.  This is not to say that there isn't a place for E and
its tons of eye candy.  It just shouldn't be the default wm.

I find it hard to believe that the gnome people would spend so much time
creating a wonderful product, that depends totally on the independent work
of others.  Hard to imagine that a automobile manufacturer would build a
car without a engine.

Knowing what the gnome programmers know about gnome, how long would it
take them to create a solid, configurable wm.  A week or two, or three?

I have also tried the latest version of Icewm, but gnome complained right
off the bat that it wasn't gnome compliant, or some such.  I see that
someone on the list wrote that the latest version of FVWM might make a
good fit.  I'll check it out.

Here's hoping.
