Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo's preference, Gnome or KDE ?

[Chris Graves]

gnome2.4 has been rock solid for me a several weeks now (got it as soon 
as an ebuild showed up). Have you tried backing off on your CFLAGS (and 
recompiling)? usually fixes my problems with "unstable" programs.

stable, nice galeon 2.11 will not compile with gtk2 because epihany,
which is a dependency now requires - reccomend you remove epihany and go
with gtk1, see below.  Went to galeon 1.3.9 (its in portage) but it
seems to be missing a few features as the menus have been reorganised.
mozilla/galeon/epihany will no longer work with any of the internet
banking sites I use in Oz - have had to fall back to netscape 4.7 and IE
Unfortunately I have been too busy to follow up as I need a working
system at the moment, and wish I had waited a bit longer to upgrade.

It's almost a fact that most distros lean towards either Gnome or KDE. I tried 
KDE a year ago with Debian and was pretty impressed. Then again, this may 
have been because of Debian's very slow updates to Gnome 2.2. I guess I just 
wanted something different.

I'm now using KDE 3.1.4 and am disappointed... My preferred desktop still 
seems to be Enlightenment, in fact. :-) So, I'm considering getting rid of 
KDE and going back to Gnome.

What do people think ?? I know it's *my* choice, of course. If I decide to 
switch, how do I do so and get the LATEST gnome stuff available ?? I'm not 
afraid of running "unstable", which I believe is the "-x86" flagged stuff.

Also, how would I "purge" all KDE stuff ?? I do like Konqueror and KMail. Are 
static-linked packages available for those ??
