KDE is _not_ a window manager. Nor is GNOME. The window manager you're using is almost certainly kwm. Look in the "ps auxw | more" output, and see for yourself. > i prefer to use KDE (Gnome would probably work as well, except i > haven't gotten around to using it) because i like the taskbar, i > like the point and click, i like the multiple desktops, and i > like the ability to put commonly used items on the desktop. The taskbar is an X11 application. As such, it can be run under any window manager whatsoever, as long as its dependencies are present The "desktop" and "multiple desktops" you're used to are very likely an artifact of your window manager (which is probably kwm). Please note that you could run kwm (and the taskbar you like so much) without the rest of KDE. > for an alternative WM, i use icewm. Please note that you could use icewm inside the KDE "desktop" framework, instead of kwm. > i find that i need (not prefer, actually need) menus these days. The ones you have in mind are almost certainly provided by your window manager. -- Cheers, "Not using Microsoft products is like being a non-smoker Rick Moen 40 or 50 years ago: You can choose not to smoke, yourself, [EMAIL PROTECTED] but it's hard to avoid second-hand smoke." -- M.
