Re: Enlightenment (or not!) Try windowmaker with Gnome

Greetings

I am not a big fan of Enlightenment. It's very pretty and all but not
really that usable. I do however really like GNOME. I'm also a big
window maker fan. I can't run it in a GNOME session, which is a shame,
If I do It 99% works just some weird stuff happens (See my earlier
posts). I just have to launch panel and GMC on top. I don't think much
of KDE though KDE2 looks a lot better.

Though I'm sure Stephen will tells us all were doomed or something
