My mantra is tha I don't run desktops, I run applications. My
attitude to KDE and GNOME is "The Pox on both your houses". They have
nice apps like KOffice and "Gnome Office "Gimp, Gnumeric, AbiWord, etc.
I run the apps I need and emerge pulls in any necessary dependancies.
I've been using x11-misc/fbpanel as my dashboard app. It lacks only
one item, namely that it doesn't autohide. Also, it doesn't show up in
the task list, so I couldn't {ALT-TAB} to it if it wasn't set to be
"always on top".
Is there a simple dashboard/panel, like fbpanel but with autohide? I
tried "emerge --pretend gnome-panel", and it seems to want to build most
of GNOME as dependancies...
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
