And btw, when it comes to testing , i'd bet flux eats less than icewm.
You must to be joking.

I am DEAD serious. It looks great, is simplistic, is not TOO minimal like FluxBox, and it consumes lesser resources than Flux. Exactly 5mb lesser RAM
I now almost always use IceWM whenever I play some game, or when I need to do some heavy installing from synaptic, or when I leave the PC on while downloading at night.
Xfce is a complete DE if you use the xubuntu-desktop package, and it comes with lots and lots of unwanted messy libraries. I prefer IceWM because its light, easy to use and easy to configure.

IceWM is waaaaaay more comfortable than Flux.
the reason its said to be crude is because in the mouse menu or the ice menu, passing over items does not expand the menus; you need to click instead. This people find crude, but I find this a great benifit because I hate having to steady my left hand, which I need to use while I eat with my right.
Even in l00ks department IceWM rocks.
just do a small
Code:
sudo apt-get install icewm icewm-gnome-support icewm-themes
and tell me how it is. Its AWSSOME provided you use the right theme, as the default one is MEANT to look crappy.
