I appreciate the invitation, but I fear that you may be missing my
point: I can best maximise my satisfaction by adapting and using the
pieces I like, and discarding the rest. The entire ediface as a whole
has nothing notably "wrong" with it; it just doesn't suit me.
To my way of thinking, it's perfectly absurd to find one's self running
processes one has no interest in, just because some "desktop" integrator
decided they should be auto-executed at login time. But that is easily
fixed. What is _really_ annoying is encountering newcomers to Linux
who've been propagandised into believing they must choose between
"GNOME" and "KDE" as if those were monolithic entities rather than
motley collections of X clients, and as if they had no alternatives.
The knowledge that such is not at all the case, and that we're running
highly configurable and comprehensible systems, is the birthright of *ix
users, and so I'm at some pains to point that out to interested parties.
