   I quite like embedded small apps.  I use FVWM, and run some AfterStep   
   and WindowMaker dockapps, small programs that run in a panel.  They   
   were great, but their 64x64 size is a bit of an issue on a laptop with   
   a high resolution screen.  FVWM can swallow X apps, which I think is a   
   great feature.
