Fluxbox? CDE?

I guess the quickest thing to do would be to use CDE during builds

All I need to do while builds are running is
1) Have xchat open to talk with people on IRC
2) pidgin ( which runs just fine under CDE)
3) Firefox ( again, this runs just fine as well)

I guess the CDE should be mature and well tested. I should be able to use it
for long periods of time without issues.
While it does look horrible , I guess it would get the job done.

Long live CDE :)
