I use the good old traditional fvwm2, it works *very nicely*. KDE in my
opinion, is like going back to all the crap GUI principles given to us by
Micro$oft. It's incredibly slow in addition. Besides which, who needs a
'desktop' when you have tkDesktop File Manager if you like that sort of
thing - a real UN*X application that gives you back a little of the power of
established command-line tools, not some attempt to copy M$.
