You're half right. KDE does suck. But then, so does Gnome.
I use fvwm2 and have used it for many, many years. It stays out of my
way and does exactly what I want it to do. No complaints.
It even evolves to be compatible with some of the gnomeisms that exist
today -- it'll attach to gconfd if I tell it to (so the font sizes
won't be out of proportion with the rest of the applications -- kudos!).
I get the best of both worlds. A windowing system that doesn't suck,
*and* doesn't make everything else behind it suck too. :)
Mmm... trollhouse cookies!
OK, I'll bite. :) MMMmmMmMmm, these taste good! :)
PS: Did I mention Window Maker? It is the NeXTstep after AfterStep.
You did. Now sit down and use fvwm2. :)
Let the flames begin! :)
OK, I'll bite too... ;^)
I don't get it...
While I appreciate those that use fvwm2 and WindowMaker, etc and want to
be more like them, every since hard drives went beyond 20Gb I always
install KDE and Gnome so I can use apps made for either desktop. I tried
using Gnome because I like its look better and I like a bunch of the
apps made for Gnome but there is something totally dysfunctional about
the desktop (see buried in the menu stuff above) that I can only
partially articulate (i.e. pushed way down the to-do list). So I'm using
KDE until I evolve up the desktop chain (I'm really going to love
XEN...) and run apps made to use the Gnome libs...
