I have a homemade "Session Manager" written in Tcl/Tk, I use a panel from
XFCE4 (without a "start" menu), and FVWM2 in MWM mode. This (more or less)
gives me what I had on VAXStations and DECStations under VMS and Ultrix w/
DECWindows way back when.

I *never* used MS-Windows or MacOSX and I have no use for a "desktop" that
mimics either. I learned on UNIX workstations back in the "early" days and
moved onto Linux from there. None of the "modern" (so-called) desktop
environments appeal to me and I find them hard to use. I'd just as soon stick
with what I know and feel confortable with. I find graphical file managers
very hard to use -- generally "clunky". I am much more confortable using a
shell window to navigate my file system(s).
