At this point, I guess I'm looking for recommendations on a window manager. Here are the major problems with XFCE4 4.6: * < 20% probability of starting X without crashing and locking computer * 20-25 minutes to start X (was about 1 under XFCE4 4.4) * 0% chance of shutting down successfully if X is running * can't exit X once started (switches monitor to power save mode and hangs) * maximum run time of 8 hours (average around 5 hours) * won't save settings and a couple minor ones: * XFCE menu doesn't work * missing icons, even after theme is changed from rodent to tango None of these were issues under XFCE4 4.4, but I'm guessing there's not a good way to get 4.4 back... What other window managers do people use, or what would you recommend and why? Thanks.
