[ale] Why is X sleeping?

[Charles Shapiro]

Or check out XFCE (http://www.xfce.org).  It's mid-way between really
low level things like fvwm & sawfish and big fat slow stuff like gnome
or kde.  I've been experimenting with it on my laptop, and it's _way_
easier to configure than fvwm, but still reasonably nimble and small.
