"If you use a traditional desktop like GNOME or KDE, a keyboard-controlled desktop with a minimum of utilities may seem like stepping back 10 or 15 years in the history of interface design. Why bother, when traditional desktops are easy to use and RAM and disk space are so cheap nowadays?" On a related note, there is a new release of xmonad, a tiling window manager for X, written in Haskell. It now has full Xinerama and XRandR support, so you can add, remove, or rotate monitors on the fly.

I changed the configuration of wmii so that the keyboard controls are more like the editor Joe and the GNU terminal program screen, ie type Ctrl+Q then the key of the command you want. It's the only way I would have continued using it since I also use the programs screen and joe all day.
