Exactly my point.

Same here. My ctwmrc is a neatly crafted piece of m4 programming that
well-behaves on every system and every configuration. This is
IMPOSSIBLE to do with Gnome (and, I expect, KDE as well).

Gnome (and, I expect, KDE as well) is intended for a single desktop,
using only Gnome applications and features. Think an average MS
Windows desktop system. Anything more complex than that will make your
live hell.

I've been told (but never tried) that you can maintain Gnome settings
with some command line tools. This would make it feasile to write a
tool that reads an abstract settings file and translates this to Gnome
settings command for the specific platform.

And these compatibility problems are?
