I have tried gnome, w/ window manager, and kde w/ kwm (i liked this better than gnome). KDE provide a lot of stuff I don't need, so did gnome. I am not trying to spark a gnome vs. K, or any window manager debate. I have been using KDE for 6 mos. now, but would like to lighten the machine load, by ditching the desktop (while keeping X). Being raised on MS-Win.. I am trying to comprehend what a screen usuallly looks like with a window managaer ansd x running, but no desktop. If I just chose to use a window manager without a desktop, what does my screen look like if I don't have any apps running? Without a desktop what kind of graphical shortcuts can I have? Do I have to call all of my programs from the console? Links to screenshots would be great to, or if you are running a machine with x, and no desktop, email me a screen shot, I would be much obliged. I would just try it right now but I am out of town for a 2 more weeks, and away from my machine. I want to know now. Shea Martin ps-I NEED A TEXT EDITOR. I like Kedit because: the aesthetics, simplicity, speed, and compact size. I like syntax highlighting, which Kedit does not have. The programs I have tried (to numerous to list) have either been too big (<1.5MB is nice), too ugly, lack simplicity, or overwhelming with features. _______________________________________________ Stormlinux-users-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stormix.com/community/lists/listinfo/stormlinux-users-list
