I I picked afterstep because it seemed more functional out of the box than Enlightenment and Gnome doesn't really standardize on a specific window manager the way KDE does, leaving the question of which WM to use with it somewhat vague. I have no particular axe to grind on this choice either way, my choice of "nifty dotfiles" that configure Gnome in lots of nice default environment kind aways simply being rather limited. I don't use Gnome so I couldn't simply borrow my own for this - do you have some Gnome configuration data/tips for how we can make the Gnome desktop more "nice" in the Red Hat fashion? - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
