Maybe it's because you got used to whatever it is. And you can still tweak
KDE to be faster. At least with Redhat's KDE 2.1, the default config, medyo

Ahhh... were you trying QT-Motif as your widget style? I experienced those
artifacts on the task bar if there's only one row of tasks on the task bar,
but two or more, no problems. I don't know why. But I experienced this on a
particular video card only (S3 Virge DX) on my computer at work. No problems
with my TNT2 here at home though. It might have something to do with Xfree86.

Actually, before I upgraded to a 1.2 GHz box a few months ago, I was running
KDE on a PII-300, with the settings tweaked, and it's as fast as GNOME... at
least that's what my eyes see. Though, sometimes it's slower when,
especially when using the MacOS-X theme.

Havent tried 1.4 yet... RedHat 7.1 only includes 1.2, and I'll have a hard
time getting 1.4 cuz I'm relying on a dial-up connection only (look at the
email address for details). :(
