Yep, while we're <OT> here. I'm not really fond of KDE or Gnome either
- too much worthless ram-hogging clutter.  I use mostly XFCE4 these
days, but I got really good mileage out of IceWM for a couple of
years.

KDE does have the advantage of being a little easier to customize than
Gnome. The Gnome folks (IMO) have take the Red Hat approach - we know
what you need and should have; anything else we'll make moderately
difficult to do.

I just love (NOT) the fact that you have to hunt for a terminal
session in both the default KDE and Gnome.
