Oh, I got rid of the semantic stuff years ago. I try to put my files in logical folders, and for when I don't there are always find, grep and panic - in that order. As I said, I've tried other desktops before, I know KDE uses a lot of resources, but I always found them wanting. I was messing with a live CD today and saw a KDE/Openbox option in the login options. So I installed Openbox on my desktop machine and that option appeared. I still get my KDE apps but with Openbox instead of Plasma and KWin, and first impressions are that it is much faster. I may find something I can't do without by tomorrow, and it doesn't look as nice (yet) but this may be just the compromise that suits me. Discussions like this are useful in getting you to explore other options, even if you have tried to before. -- Neil Bothwick Keyboard: (n.) a device used by programmers to write software for a mouse or joystick and by operators for playing games such as 'word processing.'
