I tend to have more issues with kde than with gnome. However I am a
minimalist and I dont like the overhead and all the features that I dont
need on kde and gnome so I use windowmaker with all my progs on my left
click menu, clean, simple, fast, and stable. Its got cleaner draging
between virtual desktops too. :)
