Huh? IIRC, you can only change the desktop, tile and titlebar backgrounds. How that gets away as a theme, I don't know.
GNOME still has some way to go, and I'm not convinced that GTK's performance is truely great (Qt is damned site faster) even without any themes.
I'm a lot more enthusiastic about GNOME's ORB-led development direction than KDE's interdependencies and corner-cutting. I view KDE as taking the same approach as made Windows what we know today in order to get a quick-fix of popularity. Finally, GNOME seems to have got the serious bugs knocked out and it's fast enough on my aging p133+48Mb when combined with IceWM. The biggest resource hog here is still Netscape with all its memory leaks.
Indeed the number of WMs becoming available seems to have tripled in the last year or so. XFCE is getting quite a bit of exposure on linux.com ads although I've not tried it.
XFCE is fine: if you like CDE, that is.
I am not sure. I have run up Star Office but not used it in earnest.
StarOffice for me is very slow to startup, but once you're in everything's
I'm finding the bits of Gnome Office quite speedy to use. AbiWord and Dia get fairly heavy usage now (although serious writing is still TeX'd... don't ask about the text editor ;) )
