I know Wolfgang mentioned that StumpWM was not very useful, but I beg
to differ. Both Ratpoison and StumpWM let us do what Gmenu2x cannot-
that is to grab windows and move them around. That way we can "pan"
around the ones that are too big. This would be helpful at least for
gjay, and any other progam that needs more than QVGA to be useful. It
actually renders the small screen size much less of a problem, if not no
problem at all. Not only that, with no stinky icons, you can actually
enjoy looking at your wallpaper. Not to mention side by side window
panes for dual pdf reading, etc.
I say even if it is for geeks only, we should have ratpoison, stumpwm,
or both.
I am not sure which is preferable, only that ratpoison is written in C
and Stumpwm in Lisp.
I am also not sure if they use less memory than Gmenu2x, but they
should be faster.
