After KDE3 wasn't supported any longer and KDE4 was unusable in my opinion, I tested IceWM, Windowmaker and Sawfish/Sawmill. Finally I switched to XFCE which I still use. I would like to try Trinity Desktop (based on KDE3) but unfortunately there is no Gentoo package. I don't know if there is an Gentoo overlay containing Trinity, but I never used overlays and don't have time to fiddle around anyway. https://www.trinitydesktop.org -- Regards wabe
