I forget to add "(tm)" ! :O) More seriously: May be that I got an [OK][CANCEL]-allergy... ;) Means: I am using IceWM as windowmanager only. For me KDE/GNOME are too "big" -- this does not mean, that GNOME/KDE are _bad_ ... they only dont fit my needs. I use the windowmanager mostly for haveing more terminals with more lines of text and more rows on more desktops with a more conveniently way to switch from one to another. And yes, I am using things like k3b or digikam (and have therefore a rudimentary KDE/GNOME installed -- just to be able to compile a few of their applikations...). But mainly I like text based UIs more than heavily graphic based UIs. May be that is based on the faxt that I can read better than draw?! Dont know.... I feel, that the mapping the possibilities of an computer onto the simplicity of an "[OK][CANCEL]"-based world is a limititation I dont want to accept for me. This is not identical to the acceptance of unreadable manuals/help texts, which do mention everything at places no one can find without reading the complete text! "Read the source, Luke" may be an intellectual approach rhetorical-wise but do not help really. Only my two cents...your mileage may vary... Keep hacking! mcc
