I've now settled comfortably with GNOME+E with four virtual desktops. Actually the thing I find most annoying when using Windows now is the lack of virtual desktops, no doubt Microsoft will 'invent' those too soon enough.
Bound too. It's not in Windoze 2000 then?
On the matter of speed, yes GNOME+E is slower than windows, but take into account what it has to do and you could say it's comparitively faster. 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 looked at Qt but then moved to GTK becuase I still have a hard time getting my head round C++. However, I agree GTK feels cumbersome but I am still surprised a C++ implementation is faster. Isn't KDE based on Qt ?
