This has nothing to do with what theme or wm I'm using in KDE, KDE just seems to be overly grandious about providing a freaking desktop environment. The KDE menu is also organized very bizarrely (for someone coming from straight-out AfterStep). I've been using computers since I was 8, and I started on a VAX where my father was the sysadmin. I, of all people, should not be overwhelmed by KDE. Simplify it, folks! KDE is so baroque, it wouldn't surprise me if it pisses off Windows users, and you've seen what kind of interfacial abuse they subject themselves to. There is very little I can't change in sawfish or gnome as far as sawfish or gnome are concerned in more than five mouse clicks. However, one thing that tweaks me about both DEs, still, is that they go out and clone xterm. Uuh, why? And why make it as ugly and only slightly more useful than Windows Telnet? I realise that DE's are supposed to be most helpful for newbies, but *jeeze*, I have to wonder if anybody stopped for a moment and thought that maybe unleashing something as garish and stubborn as Windows Telnet on the Linux community isn't the right thing to do. -- .''`.
