During that time I have tried Gnome, KDE, and XFCE off and on. After spending some time with each (2-3 weeks) I would always go back to a plain window manager (Openbox or FVWM). For the last 2yrs I had been using FVWM and had went to a lot of work to get my desktop completely customized to how I liked it, then KDE 3.5 came out and I decided to give it a shot, especially since I had been doing some reading about KDE 4 and was totally amazed by Plasma and how they are planning on interfacing with DBUS / HAL. I must say combining the easy configurability of KDE and the unbloatfullness of split ebuilds. KDE is now just about perfect for me, my only 2 complaints that I have so far (1 being Amarok and not KDE) are I wish KDE 3.5 was a little faster but that should get fixed with 4.x and I wish that Amarok handled Podcasts with more flexibility and allowed me to create playlists and such automaticlaly on my iPod (problem solved by not using Amarok and using bashpodder / gnupod). KDE has been a great experience and I can see why Linus prefers it over Gnome (I used to enjoy Gnome more than KDE). This all being said I am very excited to see what KDE dev's come up with next (maybe a good Arts successor). <--/rant--> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
