Comment(by jdreed):
 Looking at the number of votes/installations in the lists Anders has, I
 don't think we should go all the way down to #20.  For example, wmii has
 1526 installations compared to metacity's 1062029.  That's less than one
 percent.

 Looking at the popular ones we don't ship, I see xfwm4, kcrap, openbox,
 fluxbox, and maximus. (and on the debian side, icewm).
 wmii is on both lists, but that doesn't mean much.

 I would consider adding xfwm4.  openbox vs fluxbox is going to be yet
 another wankfest.  I don't know what maximus is.

 But really, this is not our problem on cluster.  If you care that much,
 use debathena-workstation.
