Window Managers "The ROX Desktop is a lightweight alternative to GNOME or KDE built around the ROX-Filer file manager. The project's name is an abbreviation of 'RISC OS on X'. The ROX Desktop's performance is reminiscent of IceWM, and it's noticeably faster opening programs than GNOME or KDE. However, its speed comes at the expense of a needlessly redundant default configuration, and some users may balk at some of the assumptions its design makes about how they prefer to work."

You could always give Thunar a try, you know. It is the file manager for Xfce but, it is pretty slick and competent at file management and it is Gtk2 based.

Thunar is nice, I agree. But it's a pity anyway that Endeavor won't be ported - it's richer feature-wise...
