I can't follow the development. I have tried using new flashy Gnome and it is kind of very nice, but not as speedy and useful for me as IceWM. So I am back to my standard mode using the speediest Window Manager. I am missing nothing. Amount of work I do is for normal users overwhelming, and is not comparable. > And no, I wasn't silent.

I am setting up IceWM for each of them with some file manager like Rox and that is quite enough. -- Jean Louis --- via emacs-tangents mailing list (https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-tangents)
