Perhaps I should restate the question. I have a dim understanding of the
Xwindow system. I understand that there is an X server that handles the tasks
of drawing things on the the physical screen on behalf of the X clients. I
think I understand that KDE and Gnome are window managers, but that's at least
part of what I'm asking. What do they do, what do they do differently, and why ?
I'm happily using KDE with (I assume) Xfree86 as my X server. I'm wondering
what (of substance) would change if I used Gnome. Or do I completely
misundertsand X ?

John Gilmore once observed that "The Internet interprets censorship as
damage and routes around it." Think about it.
