KDE question on SuSE



Maybe - I just downloaded the own I saw linked to earlier.  I'll scrap KDE
for that, if it works.  I personally think DTWM is the bast looking WM
right now, just can't afford its $200 pricetag from XIG.  I think I can
make that other one do it.  I am really excited to try it out, XFce I
think its called.  
	I like a window manger that is easy on the eyes and doesn't crash.
I think I can get that from XFce.  KDE has locked up on me a few times, it
sucks to have to switch to a different computer and reboot - because the
blasted WM crashed.  I have a feeling that an easy to look at WM, that is
light weight can fix my problems.  OLWM, FVWM, FVWM95 - there ugly, there
no fun, and well I have no desire to use them.  I like KDE, its getting
better with every release.  I liked the way GNOME looked when I tried it,
even though I had a bad experience with it, In the future - maybe
currently it is good.  I just feel like WM are plotting inot MS territory.
Gone are the days when an X app worked on any WM.  I did like that with
the old days.

Wow - that almost looks like a sermon - it wasn't meant to be,

Thanks,
Anthony
