For a graphics wizard the choice of windowmanager is crucial. Bad
enough, the really colorful ones are still moving targets. I guess you
should look at
http://www.enlightenment.org  for the dark side of life and
http://www.windowmaker.org  for a rather fancy default styling
But be assured, as soon as you go this way, you'll loose any connection
to reality (even the virtual one, which would be very bad for us here)
and your PCs performance is about to drop as well. Those fancy things
MUST hog.

Unix folks boot Emacs. Those that don't boot emacs, use XEmacs :-) (I
do). SysAdmins use vi. Next to what you say may be nedit. It's the
favorite of my pal here. Should be on most distributions, I guess.

Well, here we go: good is a very moving target. I saw alot of critics
about the various, none satisfies both users and purists. But there are
at least three major areas:
KDE/QT: has several, no idea; GNOME/GTK: same; NONE: try zircon.

man  XF86Config and a lot of luck, I guess.
