Kde is not a possible solution for you? I'm just asking, I do not want
to start a flamewar about which is the better/worst. :)
That's the reason why I have kde and xfce on my machine. I always have
a fallback plan. I spend I few weeks for Unity from unity-gentoo
overlay and the big gnome-3.8 update messed up everything and I spent
almost a week the get back Unity, and I gave up. During this week I
was able to work on my machine because I had kde.
