Tiling?  Heh.  Actually, it was Josh who first got me leaving fluxbox
for OpenBox.  Meanwhile, I have been doing a bit with dwm, which is good
for laptops where I don't do much aside from a few terminals and
browser. 

I have a page on dwm for anyone who is curious about trying a tiling
window manager, at http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/dwm.html
