Hi, Mico! I'm risking to get a pail of slops on my head but stupid, braindead, shit-styled, awful, G*d damned, and despite this widely used desktop environments like *nome, *DE, *FCE etc are much more user friendly than progressive (and marginal, be honest) ones. I use Ion since 2nd release and quite bored to fix daughter windows properties for some poorly designed (actually just not Ion-designed) applications. Last times I run *nome-panel before Ion in my .xsession to get a bit of usability and comfortable mounting also.
I like Ion. I like its minimalism. But actually I like the possibility to create/destroy as much desktops as I want and make it dynamically. That is all I really need. Now I'm looking for possibility of this in *nome DE or FVWM, which can be runned beneath *nome DE. If I'd do, I'll leave Ion forever. Man must be ready for hard decisions, yeah...
