hello,

i'm kinda new to linux and am having trouble (coming from win32) 
understanding this whole x server/desktop manager/window manager thing.  i 
kinda understand an xserver is, but when it comes to kde2 vs 
gnome/enlightenment...i'm kinda lost.

right now i run KDE2 and i like it a lot.  but i've seen screenshots of gnome 
apps running with enlightment and they are extremely visually pleasing.  is 
kde2 capable of doing this?

what is kde2?  what is gnome?  what is enlightenment?

why does enlightenment run on top of gnome?  can it run on top of kde2?  if 
not, why not, and why does it run on top of gnome?

why is it possible to run gnome apps from kde2?  can gnome run kde2 apps?

why is it that i can get gnome apps running in kde2, but they don't look half 
as good as if they were running in gnome/enlightenment?

i think i read a post on a newsgroup once abou running enlightenment in kde2. 
 the poster said that if he does this, he'd lose a lot of functionality of 
kde2, but it would look a lot better.  what does this mean?

i really need some light shed on this subject.  oh how i wish things were 
simple like back in the win32 days...heh, just kidding...;)

thank you,
christopher
