At least I need Xfce. I was a KDE3 user (for some tasks I used Ion2). When KDE4 replaced KDE3 I switched to GNOME2 and when GNOME3 replaced GNOME2 I switched to Xfce. I tested a lot of DEs/WMs. For my DAW I'll use Xfce in the future, but I would like to test GNOME3 from time to time for the same DAW. Thanks, Ralf
