[16:18] <@dillon> the X environment works fairly well but even though
that gui is pretty it isn't very good.  you have to use menus to start
programs up instead of buttons.  fvwm is a bit nicer so I'm going to
change the window manager to fvwm

http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docbook/en/html/c287.html

I would assert that I believe most people would prefer fluxbox to fvwm.
