I used to use fvwm at work.

My workstation was a Sun Ultra-10 running Solaris 7 with CDE. I used instructions similar to these to run fvwm on CDE:

I've always enjoyed the virtual desktop overview, that little grid in the bottom right hand corner.

I don't think it's useful, but it's acceptable rice, as far as I'm concerned.

You can do almost ANYTHING with FVWM. Define almost any number of virtual desktops with different backgrounds, and define the switcher grid any way you want, make a window "sticky" so it appears in every virtual desktop, etc., etc., etc.

Not knocking fvwm.
Those are pretty standard features tho.

I have a workstation running Red Hat 5 that ships with FVWM, and an X61 with OpenBSD and FVWM riced to look like CDE, but not much else at the moment though.
