That's part of it, then. MWM relies heavily on libXm (the Motif library), and since it's shared, that will reduce the binary size but not the actual amount of memory required by the process. (You probably don't have any other applications using Motif.)
This isn't a criticism, of course. I'm not a partisan of Blackbox or any other WM, but it's important to realize that the size of the binary isn't particularly significant.
You might want to use ps to examine the memory used by both WMs, if that's your concern. (Look at the RSS field.) It's also important to compare memory usage with a bunch of windows open; Motif tends to be a bit hoggish with memory. (It's a byzantine library. You could use the manual as ballast.)
Well, all of the crack I smoked in my youth has really destroyed my ability to concentrate on multiple things at once. In addition, the spurt from all the dicks I licked for crack money permanently damaged my optic nerve, so I have to use very large fonts to see.
I don't think it's very nice of you to insult me for my disabilities, which are not my fault.:(
I'm not a Blackbox user, actually. If you want to connect my behavior to a particular window manager, you might want to direct that vitriol at Ion or ratpoison.
Once again, I'd advise you to think hard about whatever horribly traumatic experience caused you to direct such irrational anger at others with minimalist aesthetics. Perhaps Mies van der Rohe touched you inappropriately as a child?
I have built the CVS of E17. I know exactly what I'm spouting off about. It's covered with ugly chrome, and it's not particularly fast either. It's not clotted with features like KDE, but it's excessively flashy and garish, a 'feature' it shares with its predecessor.
Of course, E17 can't run on a 286, since that processor is 16-bit and no modern Unices can run on it.
Did a minimalist rape your mother or something? You sure seem to have a lot of pent-up rage against people who have different tastes than you.
Personally, I find Enlightenment to be garish and Blackbox to be easy on the eyes. This is called a difference in taste. This is why houses come in many different styles and cars come in dozens of colors.
It makes stuff look like Liberace took a dump on it after eating a bucket of jujubes. There's something called minimalism, and computer interfaces could sure use a nice big dose of it.
I didn't know that excitement was really a priority in computer interfaces. I thought speed and response time were much more important for productivity.
But I guess I'm just too stupid to understand the myriad uses of the genie effect and wobbly windows. Maybe it would enhance my productivity for my windows to be transparent so I couldn't see anything clearly.
I don't think I've heard a single cogent point in favor of the shift to 3D-accelerated interfaces.
There are two ways of cutting and pasting in X. The 'select/middle-click' method involves what's called the primary selection, and the familiar cut/copy/paste method uses the clipboard. Both can be used independently, and in most X apps -- regardless of toolkit.
Unfortunately, the bit about the American Revolution was utter bullshit. If it wasn't for the French, the Americans might very well have been answering to the English monarch for a good while longer.

Of course, most EULAs explicitly forbid disassembly.

Did you link libXm to MWM statically or dynamically? It makes a pretty big difference.

XFCE is not a lightweight window manager. It's a desktop environment, and not nearly as lightweight as blackbox et al.

Qt 4 is not out yet. There is not currently an open-source Qt for Windows. I wish there was.
Pango is a Gtk+ dependency, so that shouldn't be a problem.
But yes, hidden GNOME dependencies irritate me as well.
"Now there's even a GPL full version for Windows"

Leave 2GB or so available for swap. That's a fraction of most hard drives nowadays.

I know. I hate decent acting, character development, and interesting plot arcs too.
You can select text to copy. Drag over the text and it works exactly like any other X11 application -- middle-click to paste.
Try Mexico. I hear that the maliquadoras are beautiful this time of year.

Languages change. That's the way of things.
