Really? LXDE? I don't use it myself - but even still. Any other window managers/desktops attempted? I think Openbox might be nice but perhaps not the best with the cascading menu on such a small screen. I know LXDE isn't a resource hog on typcial hardware but does it show bloat on the N900?

Thanks for the help,

Abe
