Yeah, ugly as f... fleas on a dog, isn't it?

I found fluxbox to be a very nice window manager. Very lightweight, 
useable, and stylish enough to make people's heads turn and ask you what 
you're running. And the coolest bit is... tabbed x-terms! Just like 
Mozilla and web pages.

No doubt other managers have this feature, but once you've used it it's 
very hard to go back.

Fluxbox installs straight from ports, no trouble at all. I seem to 
recall there being two versions, ancient and current. Make sure you get 
the current one.
