Desktops and Window Managers
Once you have installed XFree86, you will probably want to install additional X11 applications, window managers, and perhaps other desktop environments.
One of the easiest ways to install additional window managers is to use Fink (described in Chapter 24). Table 23-1 lists some of the window managers and desktops that can be installed via Fink.
