Bah, tvtwm rules. I have a hacked version of tvtwm (I added functions
to move the pointer so I can bind them to keys; it works well except
that the title bar highlight doesn't get updated properly when you
move the pointer out of a window). I use the largest "Powered by
FreeBSD" logo as background for my pager, the "Chuck on a rock staring
at the moon" picture as desktop background, and tvtwm's built-in icon
manager (the same as twm's) No xbiff, no xclock, no xload (where the
h* is xload? it's not in /usr/X11R6/bin any more, and I can't find
xfontsel either), nothing but xconsole, xterm, emacs 19.34 and an
occasional Netscape Navigator.

At University, I use plain twm, xwatch (a hacked-up xbiff), xclock and
xload in the corner next to the icon manager, and nothing but
xconsole, xterm, emacs 19.34 and an occasional Netscape Navigator.

At work, I use plain twm, xbaff (another hacked-up xbiff), xclock and
xload in the corner next to the icon manager, and nothing but
xconsole, xterm, emacs 19.34 and an occasional Netscape Navigator.

I don't think my desktops are worth submitting :)
