Use BlackBox with KDE? only if you got XNest332 and thats not a KDE application. I never found any function in a KDE application just lack of. E on the other hand was and prob still is just for EYE Candy, for when your windows friends came over and ya wanted to make em drool a bit (specialy on the desktop with naky chicks and deamons) Anyways.. fvwm2 is great for stability, AS is not so fun configuring. WM is ok. CDE is kinda cool. icewm I do not like at all. <snip>
Blackbox is very useful/easy/neat looking/easy to configure/ you can add whatever programs you need to the blackbox.menu with ease. You just can't beat Blackbox.
What _is_ this?? Have you ever tried E? And in your role of official Window Manager investigator and Blackbox proselytizer you make many vague statements that aren't based on much of anything.
IMHO, Wow, I dunno about you, "My role of official WM investigator" when did I get this job? I support BlackBox because I use it. I didn't want it OVER LOOKED. Simple as that. My vague statements, true I did not go much further than to say in IMHO what I liked on basically yes and no to this or that. Big deal. I dunno if you want me to "SELL" you a product, but I aint doing that. I didn't write the wms, but I have used them all. E' has a new release, and NO I haven't tried it. Totally connected to GNOME? well my system and prob at least 800f SuSE users don't have any GNOME. We still waiting, fine I totally agree with you it might be worth while to SEE what E and GNOME and all the other wms that can do while being used with a GNOME/glibc2 system. One thing that Blackbox is, is that its JUST a wm nothing more. It doesn't give you ANY applications, you put whatever you want to use in it yourself. It is clean from any thing you necessarily don't want on your desktop. Can't say that about any other WM can you now? Edit/remove/add/over-write Anyways. SuSE's cutting edge is libc5..Or what ever you do with your system. Thanks for the flame.
totally connected with Gnome and some of the people working on E are kick ass programmers that are involved in _huge_ developmental projects that will TOTALLY effect the future of X as we know it. (One of the few things
Serious golf clap. Kick Ass Programers indeed. <g> I agree, every one who works on any application/kernel/whathave you will TOTALLY effect in one way or another the future of Linux/ect.. Have you heard about SuSE's superXcontrol? Soon to come. Can't give you details as I was told by a friend of mine in Germany. He can't wait. So I guess I can't wait either. Maybe SuSE will make a statement on this.
P.S. the 'naked chicks' and 'demons' though available isn't the current look of E. If you actually STUDIED before speaking what you intend to speak ABOUT you'd know that. You can actually make E, WM, and A, look almost any way you want. Anyways, my point: don't diss without really being knowledeable about what you diss. It does alot of hardworking programmers a disservice, and there are enough things to VALIDLY criticism without throwing around this rubbish.
LOL! Whatever man. Hey have you downloaded the E's SouthPark theme? Geesh, I think you need to chill out a bit, why do you think everyone runs Linux, we use alot of hardworking programmer's PROGRAMS. I didn't DIS anything. Nor do I wan't too, I just have to find time to use everything that I might enjoy thats out there. I didn't say anything SUXed, I just said what I could find function in...
