I run blackbox. But on my freebsd server I don't have xwindow installed I just use the command line. I use freebsd on all my computers but one.

I'm running pwm. I have an xterm in "wild mode" (no window decorations) at +0+0 on my first desktop. It's set to 34-point Lucida Typewriter, which gives me an 80x30 window which nearly exactly fills the 1600x1200 screen. My second desktop has a single "frame" (think of it as like a window, sorta) containing multiple Mozilla windows which I can switch between using tabs. (Browser feature, not the annoying "tabbed browsing" thing.) Desktop #3 is for Angband, and desktop #4 is for Acrobat or other apps like it.

I would love to have a good way to do this under Windows, which I am occasionally forced to use for hours at a time.

FWIW, I run NetBSD.

I havn't used NetBSD I have only used openbsd, and freebsd.

I've used FreeBSD before; I have yet to try it since the official nVidia drivers for it have been released. Last time I used it I spent quite a few hours installing it only to find out that there were no official accelerated drivers for it, LOL

There's a certain amount of acceleration for everything. My laptop's Radeon is accelerated for 2D, but I don't have 3D acceleration for OpenGL. Yet. I don't actually care.

Yep, I meant 3D, hehe

Can't very well play UT without 3D acceleration (well technically you could; but it wouldn't be a pretty sight)

I have RH 8.0 which just has best of all worlds and suits me gaming needs
BTW, with the 2d and 3d hardware accelerations, there is a boost in dvd playback in the 3d hardware area, i saw something on it but i forgot what it was.
And if something doesn't have a *nix binary, try out WineX.

The background is a custom 3D render I did a few days ago.

 

I really like those palm trees.

Litestep is a shell replacement for Windows that allows you to set up virtual desktops. So you have a Windows kernel and a shell like Afterstep for *nix. Totally customizable menus, taskbars, hot keys, mouse movements, etc.

On my windows system you can switch desktops by putting the mouse into the corner of the screen.

I tried Litestep awhile back, but it was a pain in the butt to configure, and froze up a lot. I didn't see the appeal.
