My mantra is tha I don't run desktops, I run applications. My
attitude to KDE and GNOME is "The Pox on both your houses". They have
nice apps like KOffice and "Gnome Office "Gimp, Gnumeric, AbiWord, etc.
I run the apps I need and emerge pulls in any necessary dependancies.
I've been using x11-misc/fbpanel as my dashboard app. It lacks only
one item, namely that it doesn't autohide. Also, it doesn't show up in
the task list, so I couldn't {ALT-TAB} to it if it wasn't set to be
"always on top".
Is there a simple dashboard/panel, like fbpanel but with autohide? I
tried "emerge --pretend gnome-panel", and it seems to want to build most
of GNOME as dependancies...
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

it can autohide - and if you have koffice installed, you should have covered
most of its dependencies.

You could try pypanel. It has the autohide feature, but I'm not sure
that it responds to ALT-TAB. It's been a while since I've used it.

I don't have KOffice on this machine; I was using KOffice as an
example of a useful application, as opposed to a fancy desktop.
kicker seems to have problems on my system, to say the least. I don't
have the full KDE install, and this is causing problems, even if it
doesn't specifically list the full KDE as a dependency. When I
right-click on the panel, and select "Configure Panel", it's empty.
It doesn't autohide. I can use the arrow to manually hide/unhide.
However, after the 2nd or 3rd time, it crashes X, bringing me back to
the text console. I've unmerged it, and the packages it pulled in.

well, I am using a full KDE, and so I don't know which package you were
missing.

well, with control center or a working menu, you can tell kicker to autohide.
And at least, it has a lot less deps than gnome panel.

Thank you very much. It only pulls in 3 dependancies. It looks to be
exactly what I want. I'm part way through copying my applications list
from ~/.fbpanel/default to ~/.pypanelrc. Later tonight, after unmerging
fbpanel, I'll get to play with emerge and equery and revdep-rebuild<g>.
