Well then if you can compare Windows Managers (WMs) to desktop systems then why not compare KDEwm to ICEwm? Let me tell you something, without the underlying desktop componant architecture (and applications that use it), you will use vastly more system resources as you add simultaneous users a

OK, I have other priorities at the moment, but I might just do that. In the mean time, take Caldera's new desktop beta as the fix. --Matthew On Thu, 24 Jan 2002, Michael H. Collins wrote: > Well... Fix it and put it in contribs. > > > mslicker wrote: > > > Well then if you can com

I suppose I am just protective of KDE about misleading and inaccurate statements. From a systems administrator's point of view, yes--if you don't want to change to Caldera, it would be more practical to just use ICEwm over the default configuration of RH, SuSE, or Mandrake's KDE or GNOME. Howev
