I can't stand Gnome, for the most part. It's slow, the software is buggy,
it ignores X resources, and in many ways it recreates much of what I dislike
about windows. As I spend most of my time in xterms and editors, my desktop
environment requirements are quite small. Personally I think sawfish rocks all
by itself, as does IceWM.
