I use KDE, but intrigued by this thread, I tried windowmaker and was very pleasently surprised by the look and feel. However, there are two things that I use a lot in KDE and I could not figure out. 1. How do I start, with a simple keybord shortcut, the "Run" so that I can type the name of a program to run? (The equivalente of Alt + F2 in KDE). I find icons cluttering and cumbersome to use to start programs. 2. How do I resize windows? I could do it with the xterm window, but not with the windows of other programs (such as Xemacs, Kmail, etc). I like that the operation in KDE is a simple as clikcing on the border (or corner) of the window with left buttom pressed, and dragging to final size. Thanks, Ramon
Both of them have babyish interfaces. I use a couple of KDE and Gnome apps but as complete environments they are cluttered and too Windows-like. Professional to me is something that is sleek and efficient, e.g. windowmaker, xfce, or blackbox.
