I'll be watching this thread; I want a WM for my Easy Debian Final that is both fast (faster than xfce4) and not so stripped-bare like IceWM. fvwm2 is (supposedly) configurable, but I don't know how to configure it, and like so many of the light WMs, there's no nice configuration GUI.

Dude.. LXDE is awesome....
I am totally hooked. But it doesn't look like you are getting away from config files qole.
I'll look into the startup thing.

It really is impressive. I used Icewm years and years ago on a little Ipaq, and it _is_ very fast, but it's really far too minimal for most users I think. I love it on the NIT (and FYI the Infadel2 theme looks beautiful on the Nokia), but then I haven't run a full 'desktop environment' (k/gnome/etc) for years. The tablets, in my opinion, require a bit more friendliness than a real desktop though- you don't have the advantage of a real keyboard and mouse, so having extravagant features like desktop icons are really pretty nice 
Fluxbox is my preferred window manager on a desktop, but without actual mouse buttons it just isn't practical.
LXDE does seem like the best tradeoff between performance and function. I believe that openbox is marginally heavier than Icewm (though I could be mistaken, I haven't done any real testing between the two), but they really are modular; it wouldn't be too hard to 'downgrade' back to Icewm and still keep the other goodies from LXDE.

I did it through config files

Will it use our GTK+ tap-and-hold right-click hack? Or do we have to use another hack for right-click?
EDIT: YES, the web page says it is GTK+ based! That's MARVELOUS!

GTK works fine. I didn't have libgtkstylus on my new one so it wasn't working for me and I thought it had to be config files... once I loaded the module it works now..

Houston, we have a problem...
How comes that lxde wants to install an insane number of packages on my rootfs?

try apt-get install xserver-xomap xservery-xephyr lxde
See if by forcing the right xserver packages it doesn't go for xorg? Didn't have this problem on Deblet.

Nope, still wants to download the whole xorg cyclopedia. Don't worry, I'll try dpkg - or, indeed, I can live without it.
I do have a quick question though for the lxde users here: where can we stick a script to run stuff on startup (xmodmap, xbindkeys, etc)? I've done a bit of looking around, and supposedly making an autostart.sh in ~/.config/openbox or modifying ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart should do stuff, but I'm having no luck at all. If no one knows I'll dig some more and/or post somewhere lxde-specific, but I figured one of us who's been playing with it might have come across something already.
Thanks much.
