I deleted all KDE software from my system and at least one persistant font problems seem to have disapeared. There may, of course, be no connection between the two events. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Disk space may not be, but bandwidth is still expensive for some, or limited in another way. In the past, I can certainly recall some KDE updates involved an awful lot of megabytes, and I wasn't even using all of it. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.9-73.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

It just pulled in gnome-themes, iirc. Ideal for lower memory boxes. Though Firefox will pull in some depends. http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Fedora (read 1st) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/LXDE Frank -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Xfce uses many of the same lower level libraries and tools as gnome does. So, for example, you couldn't remove gtk2 or the like. Higher level applications should be removable.

X with neither KDE nor Gnome
I am experimenting with various niche window managers. I have removed all KDE software and XFCE still runs ok. Can I also delete all of gnome software without impacting XFCE? Usually I run only Xterm and Firefox.
