Holy cow !! I was just thinking it was the point of this brand new Wm

Oh well, i should have thought of it ... Demos often shows the max
capability of things and also often get the hardware to its knees...
Here is just a thought .. What about having a default theme that is
just the good middle between feature demonstration and hardware
requirement for an average hardware pack (or may be have 3 default
theme level for low, average and high quality hardware) ?
i'm reading fcol newsgroup everyday (french NG for linux) and the
thing i heard every time E comes in a post is : "It's really nice,
your friends will damned their soul to have it, but it's really heavy"
(means nice to see once, nice to make Wind*ws slaves drool but really
don't use it daily unless ya can accomodate its heavy-ness).
Too bad for something that wasn't designed for a good look only but in
the mind of doing whatever you want with your windowmanager...
May be the 0.14 features will overtake on the common
just-for-nice-graphics idea of E.... I, at least, wish so...

Okie, i save a copy of this mail and I'll remember : If it doesn't go
faster on my computer, you'll be sue and go to jail with Bill for lies
in advertisement ;-P .(once more j/k - i precise i'm kidding
'cuz sometimes, jokes doesn't cross borders ... See, i remember a
friend of mine getting angry after an american telling "he was the shit"
;-) )
Thanx for answering anyway,
Seb
P.S.: forgive me, my keyboard is pain in da ass, about 5% of
the keys i hit doesn't get printed.
