Hi, I have always loved gnome more than kde or anything else. About 2 years ago I had to use Windows till about 3 months ago, and I came back to gentoo and used gnome again. But I didn't feel that comfortable and home, so I tried kde and some other desktop environments, but these felt even worse. I found cinnamon and used it with gdm, what made me happy for a while. But I couldn't find an easy way to configure this system to my needs. I found no way to change the gdm background for example. I googled for a couple of days. So I tried to get rid of gnome, but I have some programmms, that use it. I use Openbox and slim now, I could configure it within half a day, and I'm happy now. By the way, I got used to tabbing terminal.in gnome-terminal, does someone know a tabbing terminal without gnome or kde or something this big? Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Randolph Maaßen
