Hi guys what alternative control panel and taskbar do you know? I am assembling a system starting from a Ubuntu core, the window manager will be choosed among icewm and openbox, the file manager will be one between xfe and pcmanfm.
The most of the application will be gtk+ .
Which control panel and taskbar do you know?
I found this:http://lxde.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html

I use fluxbox with thunar and xfce4-panel (which comes with thunar).

I don't think I'm going to use thunar, though is an excellent file manger, I would prefer a lighter file manager as pcmanfm or xfe.

I've used fbpanel and pypanel with Openbox, and they both work very well.

LXPanel is derived from fbpanel with many fixes, some new plugins and much more.
It's the panel in these screenshots

Have a look at my Openbox guide (link in signature). It mentions several other panels or panel-like applications.
