Indeed. I only posted the above in jest (hence the smilie). Anyways,
my preference is none. I've used kde and gnome and I just don't see 
the point. There's nothing that I can see that they bring to the 
table that I don't have at the moment.

So what do I use? Afterstep. :) It's a bit buggy atm but one of these
days I'll pull my finger out and help out. It does transparency, which
does me just fine for eyecandy.

Now whilst it IS a window manager that appears to be all I need. I'm
not sure why desktop managers exist (other then to be more like windows).
