Switching to GNOME2
I'm very impressed with GTK2 and GNOME, and am indeed thinking about switching
from KDE, but what is the best way to do so in Debian? Should I just use
update-alternatives to change the window manager and point my display manager
to GNOME, or is there more I have to do?
Secondly, I want to customize the theme. I've decided to use Metacity, but I
assume I have to use a GTK theme, too, to get the themed menubar, buttons,
boxes, et cetera. I've been able to use apt to download some themes, but all
of the ones I grab from Freshmeat only change the coloring scheme. The
interface still looks the same other than a new color.
Thirdly, I plan on using pan as my newsclient and am looking for a mailer.
Sylpheed looks good, and it will be the one I intend to use if no others are
found, but it doesn't utilize GTK2. What other options do I have?
I've spent today googling and reading through mail archives, but I can't seem
to figure this stuff out. Can anyone help?
