Try em both - I quickly found that gnome was a bit different to the way I like to work so ended up in kde an been happy ever since - until forced to use gnome which appears to be the only wm installed on a local Uni's machines! - reinforced my choice of kde. Its a purely personnel choice, use both for awhile and see what works out - its what keystrokes/mouse control and layout/features that makes the difference rather thatn programming for a window manager, they just control the user interface environment. One worrying point at the moment is that gnome itself and it seems some apps that run under it (netscape!!!) are less reliable. BillK
