Windowmaker just running fine here, thank you. Well...I've been using mostly kde for the past 2 years, but I had used gnome a lot in the past and have lately been checking it out again (since the gnome/xgl stuff that appeared in 10.1). I've also spent some using e17, wmaker and xfce. I used to use used blackbox and icewm, which are great for low resource machines or servers, but for a full function/all purpose desktop, gnome or kde are what work best for me.
