Both computers basically have the same install (Brigantia)... I did manage
however to get a nice looking LXDE desktop by following those instructions:

I don't think I have the energy to dig further now that I have something
functional and nice-looking... I am also getting increasingly annoyed at
GNOME in general, so LXDE for this purpose is fine with me. I'm also playing
with Triskel (the Trisquel KDE edition) on my main box in order to see if it
could be a replacement for the main GNOME edition (I'm a sucker for desktop
effects - wobbly windows, stuff like that... lol). KDE has its quirks, but
KDE4 seems like a sane project with a clear vision when you compare to the
mess that is GNOME3.
