I use fluxbox WM, no hassle, no fancy bollocks. It's just
X with some coloured window bars and a program launcher menu.
I should have mentioned that I use the same, I love fb but the programs are still slow to start - problems must be elsewhere. I ended up liking xterm better because it is so speedy but I am still interested in finding out more.
xterm is even the slowest around (the start up benchmarks that i have seen, recomend gnome-term, but i think gnome-term is fast to start-up, but it takes A LOT while running! )
rxvt and aterm are very good, i use aterm for general purpose and urxvt when i need unicode (mutt, irc).
generaly unicode does make apps take more memory, cause characters take more ... you know ..
People always say you shouldn't have to reinstall linux to maintain it so I would love to hear about possible remedies..
just don't. (i mean about doing reinstall)
what distro are you on?
