The speed is not that big a issue. I am running a desktop written in
jbuilder on linux rh6.0 P90 32 meg of ram my test machine It is just as fast
as gnome or even a little faster.
The thing is the desktop does not even do that much work the apps do all of
the work. The desktop just looks cool and launches and configures apps.
A very small job for the desktop.
BTW how can I launch a applet in a frame window. ?
