[ltp] Thinkpad 600X System Board

[Antiphon]

Speaking of 600Xes, I'm curious as to what X environments those who are using 
a 600X run. I'd like to run WindowMaker but find that its icons are too large 
and do not scale nicely. GNOME has always been buggy for me, working for a 
while and then getting messed up by itself. Mainly I run XFCE4 and KDE (slow 
at times but powerful).

I just wish there was a decent, small footprint GTK 2.0 mail app. I don't like 
how Thunderbird gives every account its own Sent, Drafts, Trash, Spam ... 
folders. Balsa doesn't work very well imho. Sylpheed is still GTK+. Any 
others I haven't tried yet? 

While I'm at it, does anyone know whatever happened to the Skipstone project? 
It was an extremely stripped down Mozilla app that was very fast to start up. 
They haven't released anything for quite some time :-(
