I have to agree with you there, Solver. I'm giving KDE a thorough test now,
though, since I somehow trashed my Sawfish. I can get other wm's to work with
Gnome but I love my Fish too much, so I'm doing the KDE thing. KDE just has a
cold feel to me. Gnome gives me a warm feeling and like you say, the panel is
to die for. I'm a bit concerned about the instability that's been reported in
Gnome 1.4, though; I don't have it yet, still waiting on my LM 8 to be
delivered.
