Hallo!
I'm considering moving from one of the giant desktop environments (Gnome) to a svelter window manager (blackbox or windowmaker.) I understand some apps require only the gnome or kde toolkits, while others require the whole kit-and-kaboodle to operate. I'm wondering if these app categories can politely run in a window manager (that is, using just the gnome toolkit.)E-mail (Thunderbird) Web (Firefox) Office (OpenOffice) Contacts (Rubrica)
The relevant Window manager hints (see for example www.freedesktop.org) or independ of the GNOME and KDE desktop or better their window managers. So politeness in general should depend on the used window manager and not on a specific desktop enviroment.
