Okay, *way* off-topic, but I must say that an occasional perusal through
synaptic (I've heard of it described as an iTunes store, but free) can
be immensely enjoyable.  Oftentimes it is a small tool that just does
something well for me.  I've found interesting window managers this way
(yet I always go back to e16, now e17).  It's a great experience to
discover something available and free.  :-)
