Sorry...I had to... my 1cent (2 cents Canadian)
KDE is seriously over featured in my opinion. And E is very heavy on
the system. Gnome's session panel is extremely annoying. Windowmaker
is light enough on my system to run decently (450 w/128mb ram). And it
doesn't crash at all if you compile it yourself. As far as the
applications, what is wrong with having both sets of libs on your box
and running either?
Heh...I hope I don't start a flame war....
