There's slop in xfce, lxde, mate. There's permissive policy in lxqt. Kde has bits with slop, Gnome has bits with slop. Sigh.

I chose jwm+rox because it's minimal win95-style desktop, currently seemingly slop free, and should be easy to support in a hard fork if need arises. But I wish it didn't have to come to this.

The year is 2026, and the viable options for desktop are probably: twm, ctwm, CDE, jwm, icewm, fvwm and windowmaker. Plus a handful of tiled wms. 30 years of desktop UI improvements, wiped out 😰
