I'm now running Openbox. It looks great!

I had problems downloading from your site, Harold. You have newer XFree
packages (4.2.0-2 vs 4.2.0-1), but once I deselected those and downloaded
only Openbox, the download went fine.

I manually edited startxwin.bat to run openbox instead of twm (this should
probably be documented somewhere).

I don't know if it makes sense for setup to make it too easy to download a
whole bunch of different window managers (you don't really need more than 1,
right?). Perhaps there could be a base window manager much like there's a
base shell. But this is starting to look like a ridiculous can of worms.
