10 I know you mentioned not really wanting to run one of the /*box/ window
11 managers because you'd run one before, but something just came to mind.
12 I ran Openbox for a few years because it fit just the criteria that you
13 described, and returning to their website I found a page that describes
14 how to integrate it with Gnome, so you could still use the menus without
15 having to hand-edit the menu config file.

17 I might try that later, actually.

19 You might also want to look into XFCE to see if it'll work the way you
20 want it to. I've played with it a little on my media machine but don't
21 have a whole lot to say about it right now.
