   I'm gaining a better understanding of the 'basis' of Lilidog. The dev is   
     very good at making the WM OpenBox (+ some XFCE pieces) into a strong   
   DE w/ useful features; BUT... OB is a X11, so in order to provide   
   Wayland, he has the Waydog release which doesn't use OB.  However, while   
   Waydog features/employs WM's capable of Wayland, they aren't nearly as   
   strong in their features that the dev sleekmason has been able to use in   
   Lilidog.   
      
   The other strength of sleekmason's desktop is his familiarity w/ using   
   tint2 for a panel/taskbar, along w/ lxtask for enhancement.   
      
   So the result is a well-featured 'desktop environment' made out of a WM   
   + other support (from DEs such as XFCE & LX) w/o needing to employ any   
   of the much heavier DEs.
