IMHO don't try to emulate Windows: your solution will always seem
inferior by comparison.
I don't have a KDE or Gnome environment; I have a killer QT3 and GTK2
environment managed by Fluxbox, plus Moz Firebird from source. There's
other apps that "round it out" like XMMS, Mplayer, OpenOffice, abcde,
&c.; it takes about a month and a couple dozen "false starts" to learn
what that list is for you!
