# XFCE to Xmonad and back again


Well, after giving Xmonad a chance I've reverted back to XFCE. This time
with a 1-pixel wide window decoration. Short story: I really like the
tiling of Xmonad (or any other tiling window manager). But you do miss
some flexibility if you *really* want to move a window. Also I needed
a panel and system tray, which are available as third-party tools, but
aren't the real deal.

So back to XFCE.

But `cntrl-enter` starts a terminal, and I'm looking for a tool that
will automatically "tile" all my X-terms in a single workspace; call it
a lame-ass expose.

# zsh prompt
I've further tweaked my prompt to remove any consonants from the
hostname, thereby shortening it a bit more:

    echo ${1//[aeuio]/}

is all the magic that is needed.
