Thanks for your suggestion, Thomas, but the key word is "with-gnome". I
won't comment on the customizability of Epiphany, since I haven't tried
it. But I checked that it requires a lot of Gnome dependencies, which
I'm not willing to install. And I use KDE, not because I find it perfect
but because AFAIK it's the only DE that has two features that for me are
a must: (1) Several virtual desktops, plus the possibility to switch
desktops via configurable keyboard shortcuts, and (2) the possibility of
setting different background images for different desktops.
The latter is not just a matter of eye candy, it's just how I see which
virtual desktop is the current one.
I don't think Gnome can do this, at least not unless you're a
guru-wizard, which I'm not.
Cheers.
