I must say that WindowMaker is a very responsive WM for the tablet.

I kept waiting for the explanation, but it was just a demo. Pretty cool looking, but no explanations anywhere. What script magic do you use? Do you use a nested X-Server? Do you think we could incorporate your desktop into the "Debian Appliance"?
