Hi I just posted the following on the shrikelist. Some context for here:
I am testing now rox, its nice but as far as I understood it, even
difficult if we consider the situation of our trainees in Zambia. Main
points of critisism (TinyX, fluxbox, rox):
	* Single click starts apps
	* No Startmenue in the left bottom (like Windows-GUI or Bluecurf)

Do you have a suggestion?

---
Does anyone know a light, Windows-like Desktop which runs on TinyX and
fluxbox (light alternative to XFRee86 and KDE/Gnome)

We have some P166/64MB-PCs for a project in Zambia, thanks to the
rule-project we have now a running RH9 - but we have to go away from the
unusual interface of fluxbox, since many of the people who learn on the
Linux-PCs will later got into Offices with Windows-GUI - and it will not
help them if they will be lost there.

Hope you have got the point, thanks for any help, Ingo.
