To really impress him you should also get some shots of WMs like WindowMaker,
AfterStep, and of course Enlightenment (
http://www.enlightenment.org/ ...
loads of pics there). Also a good fvwm95 or win95-lookalike of
fvwm2 might impress him if he likes windoze.
See the Window Manager page at

Keep up the evangelism :-)
