I was subscribed, but I don't have enough time to be in -devel as
well.  I'll check the archives to follow the thread then.  Thanks.

My main interest in gnome 1.2 is because I was using it for quite a
while before I switched to Debian.  All my existing configs don't work
and I liked the new features and look of the new one.  It will be cool
when 1.4 is available.

I'm not sure if it is X, Gnome, Sawfish or something else, but my
desktop doesn't look so nice in Debian.  I can't quite put my finger
on what it is either.  I had a real nice looking desktop with RH6.1
and 7.0.  I kept up with the latest gnome and sawfish rpms too,
though.  Interestingly enough, when I installed 7.0 I found that some
of the stuff in it was older than what I already had.

I like sawfish.  (the name changed due to a copyright conflict)

As always ;-).
