I run e16 as my window manager on FreeBSD.  All I really want is something
that gives me multiple desktops and lets me open xterms and a few gui
apps (gimp, firefox etc from a menu).  It's pretty easy to set up every
time I load a new version.

I gave up trying to do that on Ubuntu (which I had to use on a work laptop).
Their useless GUI was just too intertwined with everything and it kept 
fighting me.
