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. E has a FUTURE. It is 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 I like about RH is there developmental contribution, support of Gnome, (or even advocacy) and some of the work being done by RHLabs, to include Raster, et. al. Please be more informed if possible and refrain from this generalizing, vague argument and opinion, and emotionalizing without substance. Arguments like 'icewm' which 'I do not like at all.. and 'wm...it's ok' isn't really making a point for BB or much of anything, IMHO. 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. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
