Sigh... tell me about it. :-( I use KDE at home, and know it well.. used it for years. I keep trying to use Gnome.. thinking there _has_ to be something to it that draws people to it. I have yet to find it. I hear "visual..." some say it's "cleaner" and easier to look at than some of the other WM choices. That comes down to personal preferences, and I don't care so much what it looks like, as long as it works.... and Gnome certainly (for me anyway) does not come anywhere near that criteria. My employer chose to go with Gnome... that's ok with me... if I can get the silly WM to act properly. I've found workarounds for many of the more annoying features... or complete and utter lack of features in some instances... or even better a completely inconsistent implementation of middle-click paste functionality. I have yet to find an acceptable solution for preventing applications from stealing focus though. I've trawled through the options (what few there are), and cannot find anything at all. I was referred to gconftool-2 as the "easy" way to get in there and tinker... who is the insane masochist that thinks that is a good tool? It's a text interface nightmare for the uninitiated. I didn't have a goat to sacrifice... so i gave up on gconftool-2 as a bad idea.. and I'm still stuck with applications stealing focus. So... still open to suggestions... no I cannot use another WM.. Gnome is what I have on the work computer. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
