Haven't tried that. I'll give it a look. I do think it is problem

I enjoy KDE, especially since the atomic builds were introduced. The
full KDE is so full of - for my needs - completely useless junk, that
I've kept away from it. The bloatedness of KDE atomic is quite
acceptable for me. Also, I'm pretty satisfied with the eye-candy.
Useability wise, for me, KDE

I use gnome with enlightenment as the WM, nice and good looking setup.

I've done my own review a couple of times, when dissatisfied,
so I have an idea of what each of a fair number does.
I started with a very primitive KDE on an early Mandrake,
read about Xfce, tried it -- version 3.18.8 -- , liked

Xfce4 is really great in my opinion. KDE is just ... too much. I see all tons
of icons/apps that I never use and get discouraged.
