| What alterniatives to applications that come with KDE/Gnome do people here recommend for someone using a bare/semi-bare WM like fluxbox? I'm looking for a file manager and system monitor, but might as well include anything anyone can think of for alterniatives to KDE/Gnome software people might be able to use. |

You can configure your fluxbox menu to launch transparent atem or borderless Eterm with your favourite cmd line app.
Nothing suits best fluxbox than a bunch of terms running your apps.

| What about a process listing program similar to Gnome System Montior? Anyone have any ideas for what I could replace that with? |
