Since most Linux distributions carry all the major window managers, its going to be very difficult to get good statistics. Also, many people (myself included) use multiple window managers. But the two with the highest visibility (which may or may not translate into usage) are definately KDE and Gnome. As described to me by a Unix guru friend of mine, Gnome is for people who want to play a lot and KDE is for people who want to play a bit.

Try <http://www.kde.org> For user interface issues, try subscribing to kde-look by following the links at <http://www.kde.org/documentation/faq/kdefaq-16.html> Gnome also has extensive discussion lists, including a couple on UI issues. Try <http://www.gnome.org> and click those links! > PS: Anyone read Tog this week?: > http://www.asktog.com/columns/034OSX-FirstLook.html No, but I will now!
