Window Managers There are lots of interesting desktop environments for X, other than the big two three GNOME, KDE, and Xfce. One of those is Etoile, a highly modular and leightweight environment based on GNUstep. Etoile is entirely project and document based, which means that you focus on your documents, and not on applications. Earlier this month - and we missed it, my apologies - the project released version 0.4.0.

Étoilé does differ from OpenStep in a number of ways, just judging from the screenshots. Menu bar on top, dock centred. Gee, I wonder where they thought of that.

My one fantasy wish is that future major releases of OS X will allow me to do either a dwrite or preference set to give me back my vertical floating, tear off windows.
