How subjective is this world ! For me the last Gnome 1.4 with a lot
of config, I agree, was the nicest desktop I ever had (Sawfish,
etc.). To me Gnome 2.4 needs even more tweaking to be at par with
that. But since it's deprecated and doesn't support newer apps, I
just left it for xfce4.

And subjective; see above. Still OT.
