For those of you who are interested in a really slim window manager: try [dwm](http://dwm.suckless.org/), the small brother of [wmii.](http://wmii.suckless.org/)

90 kB, and thats already with dmenu, which brings dwm very close in functionality to its big brother. 😊 

By the way: I've solved these mysterious crashes of Arch when returning from wmii (or dwm) to the console. 

**Reason**: a faulty xorg.conf. <br />
**Precise origin**: not yet known.<br />
**Speculation**: Not possible. Insufficient data. <br />

Data are acquired as we speak, Captain. ![crazy bugger](../images/zany_face_small.png))

**Update**: after checking all possible combinations of modules, here the final and disappointing result: I haven't got a clue. I'd say that my previous xorg.conf contained a non-printable character, but vim would show me (and a 'ga' over the character would even show the code). Let's say it was an anomaly and nobodys fault. A cosmic particle...or, an X-file case, if you prefer that. 😄
