My desktop environment, using fvwm.
This is for "work". I rely heavily on virtual desktops. Most of them
look like this, one has a sidebar with mostly small xterm windows
embedded in it. (My eight desktops are: mail, web, general, admin,
work, video, spare, spare.) It's almost entirely xterm windows. The
only gui application I ever use other than web browsers is gimp.
From the top, the sidebar contains: IO, vmstat, cut buffers (insanely
useful to have those displayed), messages (little shell script thing,
very easy to quickly add a new line, which is trivially accessable from
shell scripts), "icon manager" (in text mode, I don't like icons),
virtual desktop managers.
(An earlier version of my sidebar was just a postscript window, and
various programs fed it chunks of postscript code over a named pipe.
That was an interesting experiment I should probably revisit.)
And of course, some of my UI is
bolted to a post
next to my laptop:
