My opinion would be that it could be appropriate to ask here so if anyone
here is using one of them it might be possible to answer your question.
Just don't necessarily expect an answer here as some people might not
think it Ubuntu related. My guess about you Amedee, is that you're going
to be able to find what you need with a search engine, probably not need
to subscribe to several more MLs.

Too bad you didn't mention IceWM, I have some experience with it and might
be able to offer help. Very little experience with the others.
