[Tfug] Anybody used Crunchbang Linux and/or Openbox?

I use openbox on Ibex with gnome

# aptitude install openbox obconf
# openbox --replace
# obconf

When done messing around, just run:

# metacity --replace

Openbox works well enough... better than metacity, much more traditional
X'ish.  I.e. I hate taskbars, and it has a really good task list on
middle-mouse click.  Also has workspace switching by rolling the
mousewheel on the desktop.  Works perfectly with gnome as far as I can
tell.  Doesn't have a "minimize on double-click of title bar" option,
though... OS X got me hooked on that.

Not as good as I remember sawfish being, though.  I really miss being
able to save window settings per window, such as size, location, etc.
