Re: [gtk-list] The new default wm for Gnome?

[Gustavo Joćo Alves Marques Carneiro <ee96090 fe up pt>]

	IMHO, SawMill is the window manager that integrates best with Gnome
currently, and it's also much lighter then E. Although I have not seen
ChainSaw yet.

	Qt may seem faster than GTK only because it didn't support pixmap
themes until recently. You can see that SawMill uses Gtk (I think) and is
very fast.
