There are a few gnomish or kde-ish apps that would be nice.
At least to play with. Gnome had a term emulator that allows
the user to work with proportional typefaces, for example.
While I certainly wouldn't use New Century Schoolbook for
programming, it might be nice for editing a prose document.
I compiled the KDE term; it popped up way out of shape.

Is Nautilus the "file manager" application? For some reason
I just can't see any reason for this type of program. I'm
a died in the wool CLI type, and for me at least it's much
easier to type "% mv ./README /home/kline/docs/foo.README
than to type and mouse-click.

I'll poke around for one of the apps that seemed to
require a Gnome environment. It happened just a week ago.
